AND REMAIN SECURE UNTIL GIVEN FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE SHERIFF'S COUNTY OFFICE OR OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES.WILL BE MICHAEL AND THAT CONCLUDES MY SAFETY BRIEFING FOR TODAY.> THANK YOU. WE'LL MOVE STRAIGHT TO PUBLIC COMMENT. I HAVE FOUR PEOPLE SIGNED UP.
I WILL CALL THEM IN THE ORDER OF THEIR SIGN AND JOHN MCBRIDE WILL GO FIRST. GOOD MORNING MR. MCBRIDE.
>> GOOD MORNING. JUDGING COMMISSIONERS, I WOULD LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK BEFORE YOU TODAY.
I AM A RURAL RESIDENT OF NUECES COUNTY.
A MUSCLE MEMBER OF THE ANIMAL COUNTY SERVICES ADVISORY BOARD DULY ADMITTED BY THIS COMMISSION. COUNTY WAS A TAXPAYING CITIZEN. WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ABOUT IS THE AGENDAS AND HOW THIS COURT IS BEING HANDLED.
THERE SEEMS TO BE A LEAK WITHIN THIS COURTROOM AND IT'S GOING OUT NOT JUST THE DEPARTMENT HEADS, BUT VOLUNTEERS.
ON APRIL 4, INFORMATION ABOUT THIS AGENDA OR PROPOSED ITEMS ON THE AGENDA WAS LEAKED OUT TO SAID VOLUNTEER.
[00:05:05]
WHO THEN LED A SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN AGAINST EVERY COMMISSIONER ON THIS PORT. THE ONLY PERSON THAT WAS NOT SLURRED WAS THE HONORABLE JUDGE CANALIS.AS A DISABLED VETERAN, I UNDERSTAND THE RIGHTS OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH. I TOOK THE OATH TO ALWAYS UPHOLD AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. IT'S A NOTION I HOLD DEAR TODAY.
THE ENTIRE PURPOSE OF THIS IS TO URGE YOU TO PLEASE BE THE SPARK IN INTELLIGENT LEADERS THAT YOU ALL ARE.
PROTECTOR AGENDA, ITEMS COMING UP, PROPOSED ITEMS COMING UP.
WITH INTENSE SECRECY. IT SHOULD BE LETTING KNOW THAT THE DEPARTMENT HAD SOMETHING. I DON'T PEOPLE NEED TIME TO PREPARE. HOWEVER, VOLUNTEERS SHOULD NOT BE PRIVY TO THINGS ABOUT THIS COURT UNTIL THAT AGENDA IS RELEASED.HANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS MORNING.
>> THE NEXT PERSON WE HAVE NEXT IS LIZ MILLER.
>> GOOD MORNING, CAN YOU HEAR ME?
>> YES, WE CAN. >> IT'S LIZ MILLER AND IT'S 5.39, DRIVING CROSSTOWN. THANKS FOR THEN WE SPEAK TODAY.
I'M JUST FOLLOWING. I HATE TO START YOUR DAY OFF NEGATIVE, BUT IT'S JUST REQUIRED.
LATER TODAY, THE NOISES ANIMAL COUNTY ADVISORY BOARD WILL PRESENT A RECOMMENDATION ABOUT PROPOSED $6 MILLION FACILITY.
THEY WILL MOST DEFINITELY QUOTE YOU FROM THE AUGUST 2020 ASSESSMENT PERFORMED BY SHELTER PLANERS OF AMERICA TO SUPPORT THIS WHAT I FEEL IS RIDICULOUS EXPENDITURE.
THE NUECES ANIMAL COUNTY SERVICES ADVISORY BOARD AND DEPARTMENT HAVE BEEN IN RECEIPT OF THIS ASSESSMENT FOR NEARLY 2 YEARS. KEEPING THAT IN MIND, IT MAKES THIS PROPOSED $6 MILLION STRUCTURE A COMPLETE MONUMENT TO THEIR FAILURES. IN AUGUST 2020, SHELTER PLANERS SHARE THEIR INDUSTRY KNOWLEDGE FOR SUCCESSFUL SHELTER MANAGEMENT, ADOPTION, AND HOW TO EFFECTIVELY ADDRESS PET OVERPOPULATION. SHELTER PLANERS STRESSED SOCIAL MEDIA AND COMMUNITY EDUCATION WERE CRUCIAL TO SUCCESS.OT ONCE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS AS ANY OF THE WISDOM OR DIRECTION OR SHELTER PLANERS BEEN AN AGENDA ITEM FOR THE ANIMAL SERVICES ADVISORY BOARD. NOT ONCE.
THIS PORT IS NOT EVEN REMOTELY DEDICATED TO SOLUTION.
AND ON PAGE 8 OF THE ASSESSMENT, SHELTER PLANERS JUSTICE AS THOSE WHO MAKE A LIVING BUILDING SHELTERS MADE IT CLEAR THAT NO ONE CAN SHELTER THEIR WAY OUT OF THE PROBLEM. THE ADVISORY BOARD IS HERE TODAY TO PULL FROM THAT ASSESSMENT ONLY WHAT WILL SERVE THEM AND NOT THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE.
THEY HAVE HAD TWO YEARS TO USE THE PEARLS PROVIDED BY SHELTER PLANERS AND HAVE FAILED MISERABLY.
AS TO MEDIA, THE ONLY MEDIA LISTING OUR ANIMALS REFERS TO THE COMMUNITY IS GOOD LITTLE MEXICO WHILE FEATURING OUR ANIMALS IN SHELTER.HAT IS THE MENTALITY OF WHAT YOU WILL HEAR TODAY FROM THE ADVISORY BOARD.
THE BOARD WILL LIKELY SENSATIONALIZE THE RUMINANT OASIS IS PROJECTED TO GROW 51.7 PERCENT IN THE NEXT 20 YEARS.
IT IS ONLY AT 30,000 NOW. THE PROJECTED INCREASE TO 45,020 YEARS. NEITHER NUMBER ÃÃAND EXPENDITURE. IF WE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI, IT'S THAT THEY ANNEX.
WHILE THE POPULATION MICRO, THE SERVICE AREA OF NUECES COUNTY WILL SHRINK. SOME OF RECENTLY APPROACHED THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI REQUESTING AN EXPERT I THINK THAT WAS 2019. THAT MAKES AN OPPORTUNE TIME FOR AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR CORPUS CHRISTI ANIMAL CARE.
THEY ARE WORKING HARD TO REDUCE INTAKE TO REDUCE THE ANIMAL WELFARE CULTURE TO REDUCE OVERPOPULATION TO SERVE THEIR SERVICE AREA 350,000 COMPARED TO OUR 30,000.
THEY HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND VISION FOR THE FUTURE THAT THIS IS ADVISORY BOARD AND THE DEPARTMENT CAN EVER BUILD FOR YOU PER THE ADVISORY BOARDS AGENDAS PROVE THAT THEY HAVE NOT EVEN BOTHER TO TRY. NOT EVEN A LITTLE.
ALSO THE ANIMAL SERVICES ADVISORY BOARD MADE IT BLIND ENDORSEMENT TO THE COURT ON DECEMBER 11 TO AMEND THE ANIMAL CONTROL ORDER. SINCE THE AMENDMENT HAD TO BE FIXED BY ANOTHER AMENDMENT, ONLY TO BE FIXED BY ANOTHER AMENDMENT, IT IS CLEAR THAT THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY WERE ENDORSING AND I THINK THAT ABSOLUTELY WILL APPLY TODAY IN A RECOMMENDATION TO YOU ON A NEW FACILITY.
[00:10:01]
THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY SPEAK. FINALLY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, OUR RESCUES ARE THE HEROES. THEY WORK ALL DAY AND RESCUE ALL NIGHT. THIS ONE MIGHT MAKE ME TEAR UP.NE LOCALLY RECEIVED A RECURRING GRANT TO VACCINATE UP TO 1000 ANIMALS AND THEY WILL NOT WORK WITH NUECES COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES DUE TO THE HOSTILE NATURE AND CLIMATE.
HAT MEANS THAT OTHER COMMUNITIES HAVE ACCESS TO THE RESOURCES THAT WE DO NOT.
HE IS AN JAGS AREA. ANYWAY, IT DISCUSSED ME THAT WE REFER TO IT AS A GREAT LEADER BY THIS COURT AND NOT ONCE HAVE I HEARD OUR RESCUES PRAISED. THEY'RE THE PRECIOUS RESOURCE.
NOT THE BOARD. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
>> THANK YOU. >> MISS PAMELA SMITH.
>> GOOD MORNING. >> MY NAME IS PAMELA SMITH AND I REPRESENT THE SUBDIVISION. WE ARE ON THE SIDE OF COUNTY ROAD 624 NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF ROB'S TOWN.
IN JUNE 2021, A GROUP OF APPROXIMATELY 25 RESIDENTS FROM OUR SUBDIVISION, THAT WITH COMMISSIONER HAND IS AN DIRECTOR PIMENTEL CONSERVING LONG-STANDING DRAINAGE ISSUES.
THE LACK OF DRAINAGE HAS CAUSED DAMAGE TO PROPERTY HOMES OVER MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE NUMBER OF YEARS.
AS A RESULT OF THAT MEETING, THE COUNTY AGREED THAT THEY WOULD CLEAN OUR DITCHES AND HIRE AN ENGINEER TO STUDY THE FEASIBILITY OF INCREASING THE FLOW OF WATER.
THROUGH THE DRAINAGE CONDUIT THAT THE NORTHEAST NUMBER OF OUR SUBDIVISION. THE DITCHES WERE CLEAN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OVER 20 YEARS. AND DID A NICE JOB.
A MONTH LATER IN JULY 2021, I CONTACTED MY COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE AND WAS ASSURED THAT THE ASSOCIATES HAVE BEEN CONTACTED TO DO THE ENGINEERING STUDY. IN FEBRUARY 2022, I ATTENDED A TRI-COUNTY PROJECT KICKOFF MEETING AND HOPING TO DETERMINE THE STATUS OF OUR PROJECT. I DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS NO ENGINEER CONTRACT FOR OUR SUBDIVISION.
I HAVE SINCE TRIED TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE THROUGH THE COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE AND HAVE RECEIVED NO RESPONSE.
FOR OVER A MONTH AND TRY TO RESOLVE THIS WITH MY COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE. WE AS A COMMUNITY OR AT OUR WITS AND. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER 20 YEARS. AND PEOPLE:, BUT NOTHING EVER HAPPENS. WE TRIED TO ORGANIZE.
BUT THIS HAS BEEN JUST A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF GOVERNMENT THAT DOES NOT WORK FOR THE PEOPLE.
SO, I'VE NO PLACE ELSE TO GO. AS WE APPROACH HURRICANE SEASON, MANY HOMES AND PROPERTIES WILL SUFFER MORE LOST DUE TO THIS 10 MONTH DELAY.
I AM APPEALING TO THE COURT TO PLEASE INTERVENE AND HELP US GET THIS STUDY WE NEED AND SUBSEQUENT DRAINAGE ISSUE.
WE DON'T SEE IT AS A BIG PROJECT.
BUT LIKE ON COST TO OUR HOMES AND PROPERTY.LEASE, PLEASE, CONTACT ME. PLEASE CONTACT ME.
MY CONTACT INFORMATION IS ON THE SIGN IN SHEET.
HANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU.
>> FINALLY WE HAVE WILLIAM WEBB.
>> 'SCOUNTY TO SEARCH ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE ANY ONLINE.
>> I'VE ASKED IN THE CHAPTER. >> MR. WEBB?
>> MY NAME IS WILLIAM WEBB. AND I LIVE IN NORTHEAST CORNER OF BROAD ACRES. AND WHERE THE DRAINAGE DOES NOT FLOW, THERE IS A NOT ENOUGH TO EXIT WHAT IT MEANT BACKS UP INTO MY HOUSE. IT HAS BEEN 10 TIMES IN THE 20 YEARS THAT I'VE LIVED HERE AND I ENDED UP USING A SQUEEGEE COMING IN THE BACK DOOR AND PUSHING IT OUT THE FRONT DOOR.
THE WATER. AND IT NEEDS ANOTHER CULVERT LOWERED WHERE IT IS. BECAUSE IT ONLY USES THE RECORDER OF THE CULVERT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THAT IS ALL I HAVE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT AND I DO WANT TO JUST REMIND THE AUDIENCE THAT WE DO RECEIVE YOUR COMMENTS.
WE DON'T ENGAGE BACK. BUT PROMISE THAT WE ARE LISTENING. ED THERE IS ALWAYS A STRONG

BECAUSE THERE ARE IS JUST A VERY SMALL NEED WITHIN NUECES COUNTY. NOT THAT WE ARE NOT HELPING PEOPLE WITHIN NUECES COUNTY. IT'S JUST NOT ENOUGH OF ENOUGH MONEY TO SPEND THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY.
IN THE TIMEFRAME THAT WE HAVE. >> THAT'S WHAT TODAY WE WERE CONSIDERING OPENING UP TO CITY APPLICANTS.
>> WHEN YOU SAY CITY APPLICANTS THE MEANS PEOPLE COMING TO THE
JP'S OFFICE, RIGHT? >> THEY CAN.
THEY CAN COME TO THE JP'S OFFICER THERE IS AN ONLINE SYSTEM ALSO THAT THEY CAN APPLY THROUGH.
AND WHAT WE CAN OPEN THAT BACKUP, NOT THAT THERE'S ALREADY 400 FROM CORRECT. 100 APPLICANTS WAITING IN THE
QUEUE THAT ARE CITY APPLICANTS. >> ZIP CODE DRIVEN COMMISSIONER. HERE'S THE THING.
IF THEIR ZIP CODE IS INSIDE THE JURISDICTION OF THE CITY.
THEY WENT TO THE CITY'S MONEY FIRST.
AND IF THERE WAS A COUNTY ZIP CODE, THEN WENT TO US.
WE HAVE MONEY BUT THE CITY HAS NO MONEY.
>> THE CITY HAS NO MONEY? >> THEIR OWN NUECES COUNTY.
THE RETURN HELPED EVERYBODY. PARTS WERE JUST TRYING TO HELP
EVERYBODY. >> I THINK THE CITY RAN OUT A
>> THEY WANT TO APPLY TO THE JP'S.
>> THEY CAN BE ANYTHING. BUT YOU CAN SEE THE MOST HELP I
MEAN USING THE NEED JUDGE. >> LARGE MAJORITY ARE DONE IN THE JP COURTROOM AS YOU KNOW COMMISSIONER.
YOU KNOW, JP. THESE ARE ALL INDIGENT A LARGE MAJORITY AND REALLY FOR THE LANDLORDS.
SO, I HOPE YOU ALL VOTE FOR THIS BECAUSE IT REALLY IS A NEED. AND NATALIE SAID, THERE ARE OVER 400 AND THE QUEUE. THE PEOPLE BEING EVICTED, BUT THEY ARE APPLIED AND THEY'RE JUST WAITING TO GET THIS MONEY APPROVED AND THE INDIGENT. THEY ARE ALL LARGE MAJORITY.
CORPUS CHRISTI ÃÃKATHY OF NUECES.
HE LANDLORDS NEEDED FOR THE CITIZENS NEEDED.
NUECES COUNTY. >> I APPRECIATE KATHY JUDGE WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND THE COMMISSIONERS.
>> THIS CAN AFFECT BOTH THE LANDLORD AND THE ÃÃWHICH IN
THE PAST JUDGE? >> MOTION TO SECOND.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY THE SAME HEIGHT.
>> I. >> ITEM NUMBER 11 IS RELATED THIS IS HOW WE ACTUALLY GET IT DONE.
WHICH IS A WORK AUTHORIZATION. ELATED TO EMERGENCY RENTAL ASSISTANCE WITH HAGGERTY CONSULTING FOR PROVIDING FOR THE INCREASE IN NOT TO EXCEED TIME EXTENSION.
AND NATALIE, IF YOU ALSO HELP US THROUGH THIS ONE, THIS WORK AUTHORIZATION IS BASICALLY SIMPLE THE CITY AND THE COUNTY HIRED HAGGERTY TO ADMINISTER THE WRAP.
SO ONCE WE SAY OKAY, WE WILL TAKE THE CITY PEOPLE TEST AS THEY ARE THE ONES THAT ACTUALLY WORK WITH THE PROCESS AND THE
PORTAL AND SOFTWARE. >> THIS WAS THE ONE ON MY LIST ON THE TABLE. I'M UNCOMFORTABLE DOING THIS ONE BECAUSE I'VE GOT A LOT OF QUESTIONS ON HAGGERTY THAT WE HAVE NOT DISCUSSED YET. WHEN YOU HEAR BACK ON JENNY AND LEGAL ISSUES. THIS WAS ONE THAT I WAS GOING
TO ATTEMPT TO TABLE AS WELL. >> ME I JUST AT LEAST TELL YOU THAT YOU CANNOT HAVE PAST 10 WITHOUT 11.
IT GOES HAND AND HAND.EOPLE WILL NOT GET HELP.
HAGGERTY CONSULTING IS THE CITY'S CONSULTANTS.O THEY ARE THE ONES THAT HAVE CAPTURED ALL THESE GRANT ITSELF PAYS FOR THEIR ADMINISTRATIVE FEES. ALL WE NEED IS A WORK
AUTHORIZATION. >> THEY CAN GO ONLINE AND GO
>> YOU TOLD ME THAT THESE PEOPLE HAVE TO USE HAGGERTY TO
DO THIS. >> THE ONLINE PROGRAM WAS
DEVELOPED BY HAGGERTY. >> THE SOFTWARE WAS AND SO, ONLY APPLIES ONLINE, THE APPLICATION GOES TO HAGGERTY
FIRST. >> AND THEN IT'S PASSED ON TO MY QUEUE. FOR APPROVAL.
JUST SO YOU KNOW, IT'S A COMPLICATED PROCESS.
AND THE SOFTWARE PROPRIETARY. AND IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE CREATE THAT CONSISTENCY. AGAIN THIS IS THE DOLLARS THAT THE REP HAS. HELPS PAY FOR THIS.
>> THE JURISDICTIONS OVER THE COUNTRY WITH THE WRAP.
AGAIN, THE CITY AND THE COUNTY HAVE THIS THIS THIS IS HOW WE DON'T ALL OF OUR APPLICATIONS. FOR THE PAST I DON'T KNOW HOW
[00:40:02]
MANY MONTHS NOW, NATALIE? >> WHY WOULD THE JP'S BID TO DO THAT NATALIE?HEY'RE ALREADY DOING IT WITH EVICTION.
WOULD THEY BE ABLE TO DO CASE BY CASE AND SENT TO YOU WE NEED THE MONEY AND THEN DOING THAT BEFORE.
WHY CAN'T THEY CONTINUE DOING THAT THEY ARE THE ONES TO DETERMINE SHOULD BE HAGGERTY. IT'S THE JUDGES.
JUDGES ARE THE ONES WANT TO DETERMINE IF PEOPLE NEED THE
MONEY OR NOT. >> INCHED FOR FROM THE JP SMOKE BREAK OUT SOMETHING WITH THAT. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE COVID, THERE WAS A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT PROGRAMS THAT CAME OUT.
IN THE ONE THAT WENT TO JP'S WAS A DIFFERENT ONE THAT WAS BRAND BY THE STATE. THE JP'S CAN REFER PEOPLE TO THERE. TO APPLY FOR THE MONEY.
WHICH IS A SEPARATE POT OF MONEY FROM THE PRATT MONEY.
>> IS CORRECT. THE ASSISTANT PROGRAM.
JUST SO THEY KNOW THIS ONE COMES FROM TREASURY.
AND IS VERY ONEROUS. THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI DID NOT HAVE THE STAFF IN ORDER TO RUN THIS PROGRAM.
O, WE HIRED EXPERTS THAT ARE HELPING JURISDICTIONS.
>> THE CITY DOESN'T WANT ANY PART OF IT.
>> THE CITY DOES NOT HAVE ANY MONEY.
>> THAT'S WHAT WE HEAR. >> THEY DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY, BUT THEY WANT ANYBODY GETTING INVOLVED IN IT.
BUT THE THING IS I JUST THINK THAT WE NEED TO THINK THIS OUT.
I THINK WE NEED THE JP'S DENTIST TO ME, THE EXPERTS, THE EVICTIONS, THE EXPERTS ON THE NEED, I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT THIS AND PRODUCTIVELY WORK THIS THING OUT?
>> MOVED THE TABLE. >> I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW, IF WE TABLE IT, WE SHOULD TABLE TILL TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY.
>> I'M FINE WITH THAT JUDGE. PERSON JUST LIKE JUSTICE ONLY TO GET YOU SOME MORE BACKUP, BECAUSE I REALLY DO THINK THAT AGAIN, WE'VE THIS IS HOW WE'VE BEEN HELPING PEOPLE THIS WHOLE
>> THE JP IS JUST DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO THIS.
AND ONCE YOU SEE IT. >> ?IT NATALIE OR TO PUT
SOMETHING TOGETHER?> IS GOING ASIDE.>> PUT SOMETHING
TOGETHER. >> THIS IS WHAT EVERY PIECE OF IT THAT AND CANNOT DO ANY LONGER.
THEY ALSO WENT WITH HAGGERTY. JUST EXPLAIN TO US THAT IT'S NOT I THINK WHAT I'M GETTING A SENSE OF HIS SENSITIVITY TO USING CONSULTANTS ALL THE TIME AND DO WE NEED THEM? OR THINK SOME OF THE POSES ARE GOING AND SO I HAVE THOSE CONCERNS TOO. SOMETHING VERY SIMPLE.
THERE ONE CAN UNDERSTAND. HERE'S NO WAY TO MISINTERPRET IT. JUST THE FACTS.
MEN AND THEN WE CAN GO FROM THERE.
I THINK I WILL HELP US ALL OUT. >> I WOULD SUGGEST THIS WOULD BE THE ONES THEY, BECAUSE THAT'S FINE.
HOWEVER IT WORKS OUT. I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT TO YOU THAT WITHOUT THAT THIS WORK AUTHORIZATION DEPOSITIONS.
DESPERATE PEOPLE DO NOT THIS THURSDAY MORNING BE ABLE TO ANSWER THE PHONE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE WOULD YOU BE AMENABLE TO AT LEAST ALLOWING A WORK AUTHORIZATION THAT JUST UP AND ANSWERS THE PHONE TO THE PEOPLE DON'T GET ENOUGH? IT'S VERY DISHEARTENING FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO SAY WE CAN HELP YOU, BUT WE'RE NOT EVEN THERE TO HELP YOU. WE HAVE WE HAVE COVERAGE UNTIL TUESDAY. TODAY.
THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT HAVE SOME WORK AUTHORIZATION JUST TO
BE ABLE TO ANSWER PHONES. >> YOUR FRIEND TO JP?
>> AGAIN, THE JP HAS NO KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THIS.
FORGIVE ME JUDGE RODRIGUEZ. GIVE ANY BACKGROUND ON THIS PARTICULAR TREASURY PROGRAM? THIS IS HIGHLY COMPLEX.
I LOVE THE GOVERNMENT. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, THE GIVE YOU A LOT OF MONEY, BUT THEY ALSO GIVE YOU, A LOT OF RULES.
CLUB COMPLAINTS. >> I'M JUST SAYING SHE WOULD KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS A NEED AND SHE CONSENTED TO
NATALIE. >> IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY.
IT'S SUPER COMPLEX REALLY IS. AND JUST SO YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD THE SIGNS DOWN AT THE COURTHOUSE ALL DAY.GAIN, LET'S JUST BRING IT BACK ON WEDNESDAY.
I JUST WANTED YOU TO ADDRESS WHETHER OR NOT YOU HAVE THE
ABILITY TO. >> WE DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO THAT.E HAVE IS TO FISH FOR THOSE TENANTS DISTANCE TO GO TO THEM. THE ONLY PROBLEM WE HAVE IS WHEN WE REFERRED THEM. AND THEY ARE THERE TO HELP THEM.ECAUSE WHEN THEY ARE CLOSED AND THERE IS NO ASSISTANCE TO GIVE TO THEM. WE DO NEED THAT.
>> WE HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE ON HOW TO DO THAT.
>> THERE ARE SOME REPORTS OF ELIGIBILITY.
AND IN FACT, JUST SAYING THOUGH, IT WAS HAGGERTY HE WENT TO TREASURY ON OUR BEHALF. TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT YOU REP TO COULD BE USED BY THE COUNTY FOR THE RESIDENCE.
JUST SO YOU KNOW. SO WE KNOW HOPEFULLY MANY PEOPLE ARE IN LINE AS POSSIBLE. IT'LL BE BECAUSE THE COUNTY
MADE THOSE OVERTURES. >> AND NATALIE, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY ABILITY IN YOUR OFFICE TO HANDLE THIS EITHER DO YOU?>
[00:45:02]

MOTION AND A SECOND. >> SECOND PREPRESS OTHERS IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING I. CARE, THEY THE CORRESPONDING

ITEM NUMBER 17 IS YOURS TO GET YOU UNDERWAY.
TO THE LAND OFFICE. THIS IS CONSIDERING A SUBMISSION APPLICATION TO NATIONAL FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE TODAY SHOULD. FOR UP TO $10 MILLION TO ASSIST
[00:50:02]
WITH CONSTRUCTION MOVEMENT WAS TO RECEIPTING TO PROVE THE CORPUS CHRISTI BAY. FREE MONEY?>> THE FREE MONEY, THE MASS WE HAVE OUT THERE IS BASICALLY 30 MILLION IN KIND. AND WHEN REALLY IN CASH.
THAT MATCH IS MADE UP OF MAINLY THE FOUNDATION AND THE IMPORTANT CORPUS CHRISTI. THERE IS NO MATCH REQUIRED FOR THIS APPLICATION. BUT THE BEAUTY OF THIS IS OUR MATCH, FORGET TIME AND MILLION JUST AS WE ARE ALREADY AT A THREE AND ONE MATCH. WHICH IS VERY HIGH.
IN A POSITION TO SCORE REALLY HIGH.
SO, THIS CONSISTS OF LIKE YOU SAID, THE BREAKWATER.
RIFFRAFF MATERIAL YOU WOULD SEE ON THE BREAKWATER.
THE SENTIMENT BEHIND THE BREAKWATER.
AND THE SEATING OF THE OYSTERS THAT IS BEING DONE BY THE RESEARCH FACILITY THAT THE BUILT IN COLLECTIONS.
SO, WE DID THE PRE-APPLICATION. NATALIE AND I WERE JUMPING THROUGH HOOPS TO GET THIS DONE. MOST OF THE HEAVY LIFTING IS BEING DONE BY MARK MCDONALD AND ANALYSIS AND GEOTECHNICAL WORK.
SO, THAT HELPS US A LOT TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR THAT, BEEN FOR THAT GROUNDWORK THE 30 DONE, THIS WOULD BE A REAL HARD THING TO GET DONE BY THE 21ST.
WE JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT IT LAST THURSDAY.
USUALLY I CAN WORK ON THESE THINGS MONTH AFTER MONTH MONTHS OUT. A FEW WEEKS TRULY COMPETITIVE.
I DON'T WANT TO GET ANYBODY'S HOPES UP TOO HIGH.
WE FEEL COMFORTABLE. BUT WE ARE COMPETING AGAINST ALL THE GREAT LAKES. THE WEST COAST AND ALL LEGAL CODES. FOR THESE FUNDS.
140 MILLION THEY THINK ABOUT AND WE'RE GONNA GO FOR 10 MILLION. WE DID THE PRE-APPLICATION AND IF THEY LIKE WHAT THEY SEE IN THE PRE-APPLICATION DOCTORS THEY WILL GET CALLED OUT FOR THE FULL-BLOWN APPLICATION AT THE END OF MAY. IT'S REAL QUICK TURNAROUND.

>> I WANT TO BRING UP TO SPEED ON THINGS THAT WE ARE DOING IN THE ELC. AND BEFORE I GET TO DISCUSSING ISSUES WITH WILDFIRE, THOUGH I KNOW THAT'S AN AGENDA ITEM.
SO, WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS. KRISTI WANT TO ADVANCE JUDGE SO

YOU DO JUSTICE GO HEAD TO WE WERE LOUIS.
FEEL FREE TO GO RIGHT INTO WILDFIRES.
WHICH IS LISTED AS ITEM NUMBER 19.
IT'S JUST AN UPDATE CARE ON WILDFIRE AND WILDFIRE CONDITIONS. AND THAT WE MELISSA CAN ALSO ASSIST. THE TALL COMPREHENSIVE.AKE
IT THE WAY THAT YOU WOULD LIKE. >> THANK YOU.
SO, THE OUTLOOK FOR THE ELC WHAT WE BEEN DOING FOR THE LAST 30 DAYS AND 30 DAYS FORWARD. SO, WHAT WE HAVE DONE IS PARTICIPATED IN PREPARING OURSELVES FOR THE HURRICANE CONFERENCE THAT'S COMING UP IN MAY.
AND THEN THERE'S THE TEXAS CONFERENCE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE IN THE END OF MAY. IN THE EARLY PART OF JUNE.O, I'VE BEEN PARTICIPATING IN THAT.
AND IN 30 DAYS, WE'VE ALSO BEEN DOING COMMUNICATION EXERCISES, WHICH IS SOMETHING WE ALWAYS NEED TO DO IS A REMOVED TO THE COMES OUT. EVERY DECISION AFTER EVERY ACTION REVIEW AND EXERCISE THAT WE'VE DONE.
COMMUNICATION HAS BEEN STRESSED IS A BIG PART OF A DISCHARGE THAT NEEDS TO BE WORKED ON. AND WE HAVE SOME COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT THAT WE DO NEED TRAINING ON.
WE ARE DOING THE ON A WEEKLY BASIS.
WE ARE STILL UPDATING OUR EMERGENCY SUPPORT FUNCTIONS AS PART OF OUR EMERGENCY PLAN. RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE COMPLETED ALL BUT TWO OF OUR EMERGENCY SUPPORT FUNCTIONS.
WE ANTICIPATE GETTING THAT COMPLETED BY NEXT WEEK.
THE JUDGE, WE WILL BRING IT TO YOU FOR SIGNATURES.
HER COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENTS OVER THE LAST MONTH.
WE HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE RED CROSS FULL-SCALE EXERCISE.
WE ARE GOING TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SEMINAR THAT IS BEING HELD BY THE LE PC. AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO PARTICIPATE IN THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AND THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT TOWN HALL THIS CAN HAPPEN ON 10 MAY. SOME INFORMATION ON COVID-19. SO, EVERYBODY ÃÃEVERYONE IS TRACKING THAT THERE IS A RECOMMENDATION FROM THE CDC TO HAVE AN ADDITIONAL BOOSTER FOR THOSE OVER 50 OR HAVE EXTENUATING CONDITIONS. THE CURRENT CODE NUMBER FOUR NUECES COUNTY IS 1.89 PERCENT. THAT'S THE POSITIVITY RATE.
56 PERCENT OF OUR RESIDENTS HAVE HAD ONE DOSE.
AND 67 PERCENT OF OUR RESIDENTS HAVE HAD TO DOSES AND THEN WE HAVE 44 PERCENT OF OUR RESIDENTS THAT HAVE RECEIVED
THE BOOSTER. >> THE STATE OF TEXAS HAS
[19. Receive update on wildfires and wildfire conditions, including resources, mutual aid agreements, and related matters.]
REACHED ITS GOAL. IT'S THRESHOLD FOR 7.2 MILLION FOR THE USE OF THE FIRE MANAGEMENT ACCEPTANCE GRANT.THIS GRANT IS FOR THE RECOUPING THIS GRANT IS USED FOR RECUPERATING AND RECOVERY EFFORTS FOR THE WILDFIRES THAT WE ARE GOING THROUGH THIS SEASON.
AT THAT NOTE, WE WILL TALK ABOUT WILDFIRE FOR THIS SEASON.
I'M GONNA TURN IT OVER TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELISSA MCGEE TO GIVE US A LONG-RANGE VIEW OF THE WEATHER.
AND AFTER THAT, I WILL BRING FORWARD CHIEF HELTON AND CHIEF SAGRADA. ONE IS FROM INTERVIEW AND ONCE FROM ROCK STYLE. TALK ABOUT THE FIRE SEASON THAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW.
[01:00:02]
>> THANK YOU JUDGE AND THANK YOU LOUIS.
I'M GOING TO ATTEMPT TO SHARE MY SCREEN HERE.
I DO HAVE JUST A FEW VISUAL AIDS TO GIVE FOLKS A SENSE OF WHAT FORECAST CONDITIONS ARE IN NUECES COUNTY AS WE GO THROUGH THE NEXT FEW MONTHS. I AND THE WARNING COORDINATION METEOROLOGIST WITH THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OFFICE HERE BUT FOR ANY KIND CONDITIONS WITHIN NUECES COUNTY COMMITTEE CARRIES ACCESS THAT BY ACCESSING WEATHER.GOV/CRP.
WHAT REALLY PROVIDED AN OVERVIEW ON THE CURRENT CONDITIONS AND FORECAST CONDITIONS WITHIN THE COUNTY, MODERATE TO SEVERE DROP IS ACROSS THE NUECES COUNTY RIGHT NOW. SO, WE HAVE SEEN INCREASED WILDFIRE ACTIVITY OVER THE PAST WEEKS.
AND THAT IS REALLY BEEN SUPPORTED BY THE DROUGHT CONDITIONS WE'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING.
THIS DROP IS FORECAST TO PERSIST THROUGH AT LEAST JUNE OF THIS YEAR. AND IT'S VERY LIKELY THAT WE SEE WORSENING DROUGHT CONDITIONS BEFORE WE SEE ANY KIND OF IMPROVEMENT. NOW, WE'RE GONNA TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE FORECAST AS WE GO THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THIS LATE SPRING OR EARLY SUMMER SEASON.
BUT ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND BELOW NORMAL PRECIPITATION ARE FORECAST TO CONTINUE FOR APRIL, MAY, AND JUNE.
AND THAT'S GOING TO RESULT IN PERIOD SEVEN ELEVATED TO SUBMIT AGAIN WILDFIRE IN NUECES COUNTY.
THAT'S GOING TO GIVE YOU A SENSE OF HOW DRY THINGS ARE, THIS IS A PRECIPITATION DEPARTURE MAP.
FOR NUECES COUNTY AND EVERYTHING LOOKS YELLOW.
THAT YELLOW REPRESENTS OVER THE PAST SIX DAYS, NUECES COUNTY IS 2 TO 6 INCHES BELOW NORMAL RAINFALL PRODUCTIVE NOT MEAN WE ARE GOING TO CEASE AND READ AS WE GO THROUGH THE NEXT FEW DAYS, WE ACTUALLY DO HAVE SOME LIGHT RAIN IN THE FORECAST.
BUT, IT'S LESS THAN 1/10 OF AN INCH ENOUGH MEGAN TO BE ENOUGH TO OFFSET THE CONDITIONS THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING IN NUECES KATHY. I LIKE GREEN THERE, THAT'S THE FORECAST FOR LESS THAN 10TH OF AN INCH.
AKING A LOOK AT THE FORECAST GOING FORWARD, AS WE HEAD INTO LATER PORTIONS OF APRIL AND THEN ALSO TAKE A LOOK AT ME AND JUNE. WE ARE GOING TO SEE A SERIES OF COLD FRONTS MOVING ACROSS NUECES COUNTY.
THAT GIVES SOME BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES BUT WHEN I SAY BELOW NORMAL, I'M TALKING ABOUT BELOW HIGHS IN THE 80S TO 85 DEGREES RANGE. AND THEN BELOW CLOSE IN THE 60 TO 70 DEGREES RANGE. THIS CAN BE COLDER THAN SEASONAL. WE'RE NOT SEEING A REALLY STRONG SIGNAL FOR ABOVE OR BELOW NORMAL.
EITHER WAY IN NUECES COUNTY. NEAR NORMAL PRECIPITATION, BUT AGAIN, BECAUSE WE ARE SEVERAL INCHES BELOW NORMAL SO FAR, WE NEED TO GET A LOT OF RAIN TO REALLY OFFSET OUR CURRENT DROUGHT CONDITIONS. AS WE HEAD INTO LATE PORTIONS OF APRIL, THIS IS APRIL 19 THROUGH APRIL 25.
WE STILL SEE THAT BELOW NORMAL TREND CONTINUING.
WE STILL SEE NORMAL NORMAL PRECIPITATION FORECAST.
THIS IS FOR THE NEXT 14 DAYS. WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH RAIN IN THE FORECAST RIGHT NOW TO REALLY OFFSET ANY OF OUR CURRENT DROUGHT CONDITIONS. SO, WE WILL PROBABLY SEE A FEW SPRINGS. BUT AGAIN, NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE A DENT IN OUR JOB. AS WE HEAD INTO LATER PORTIONS OF APRIL, BEGINNING OF MAY, WE REALLY SEE A WARM AND DRY SIGNAL. ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES.
BELOW NORMAL PRECIPITATION. THAT REALLY CONTINUES AS WE HEAD INTO THE BEGINNING OF JUNE AS WELL.
FOR REFERENCE, I DO HAVE APRIL MAY AND JUNE NORMALS IN THERE SINCE THAT'S WHAT THESE MAPS REFER TO.
BUT AGAIN, ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES FORECAST BELOW NORMAL PRECIPITATION, THAT WILL ONLY CONTRIBUTE TO DROUGHT CONDITIONS.AKING A LOOK AT OUR CURRENT JOB CONDITIONS, YOU COULD SEE NUECES COUNTY ON HERE.
HE PALE ORANGE REPRESENTS MODERATE DROUGHT.
THE DARKER ORANGE REPRESENTS SEVERE DROUGHT.
WE DO HAVE THAT MODERATE TO SEVERE DROUGHT ACROSS NUECES COUNTY. THIS RESULTING IN MORE PASTURED CONDITIONS. THIS CREATED REALLY HARD SOILS.
THAT WILL AFFECT OUR CROP YIELDS.
THAT ALSO INCREASES OUR WILDFIRE DANGER.
AND THAT ALSO INCREASES OUR WELL WATER USE.
AGAIN, IT DOES LOOK LIKE THIS DROUGHT IS FORECAST TO PERSIST INTO THE BEGINNING OF SUMMER. SO, THIS GRANT AREA THAT YOU SEE ON HERE, LOOKS BASICALLY FROM OUR DRAFT CENTER.
BASED OUT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA SAYING JOB CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST TO PERSIST THROUGH EARLY SUMMER.
SO, JUST SOME OF THE KEY TAKEAWAYS HERE TO WRAP UP.
MODERATE TO SEVERE DROUGHT IS OCCURRING ACROSS NUECES COUNTY.
FORECAST TO CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST JUNE OF THIS YEAR.
AND JACK CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY BE WORSENED BEFORE THEY GET BETTER. ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES BELOW NORMAL PRECIPITATION THE FORECAST CONTINUING APRIL AND MAY AND JUNE OF THIS YEAR. AND THAT'S GONNA RESULT IN PERIOD SEVEN ELEVATED TO SIGNIFICANT WILDFIRE RISK.
SOMETHING I WANT TO POINT OUT WITH THESE SEASONAL OUTLOOKS.
IF NOT, HIGHLIGHT ANY INDIVIDUAL COLD FRONT.
IT'S LOOKING HIGHLY ANY INDIVIDUAL THUNDERSTORMS. IT'S PROVIDING A GENERAL OUTLOOK FOR HOW THE SEASONAL TREND. AGAIN, ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES ESPECIALLY NORMAL PRECEPT.
[01:05:01]
JUDGE CANALIS, THAT IS CONCLUDING THAT I HAVE FOR THISBRIEFING. >> THANK YOU MELISSA AND THANKS FOR REALLY ALL THE WORK THAT YOU DO FOR OUR REGION.
ALL YEAR LONG AND THIS DOES HAVE AND HELP QUITE A BIT.
THE QUESTION WAS REALLY POSED TO US AND WE NEEDED SOME REAL EXPERT INFORMATION.SN'T IT JUST LIKE IT ALWAYS IS THIS TIME OF YEAR AND THE ANSWER IS THAT BOTH .3 HELPS US TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS BELOW NORMAL PERCENT. AND THIS IS WHY WE HAVE SUCH AN ELEVATED YOU KNOW, SIGNIFICANT WILDFIRE RISK AND WE HAVE MY SOCK SLIDES WHILE WE WERE TALKING.
LOOKS LIKE WE'VE ANOTHER RED FLAG DAY TODAY.
>> WE WANT TO MOVE TO CHIEF HILLIARD.
>> THINK THE JUDGE. OMMISSIONERS, I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE TO SPEAK TO YOU ALL.
I JUST WANT TO GO OVER A COUPLE OF THE TEST IS IN A YOU WERE LOOKING TO SEEK SOME INFORMATION.
OF COURSE, I CAN ONLY PROVIDE YOU THE INFORMATION THAT NUECES AND NUMBER ONE. THE M WILL FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS RESPONDED TO. BUT I WANT TO SHARE SOME OF THAT AND I THINK YOUR QUESTION ABOUT IS THIS NORMAL, IT'S NOT A NORMAL EVENT. I'VE BEEN THROUGH ALMOST 20 YEARS IN THE FIRE SERVICE. I'VE BEEN THROUGH TWO WILDFIRE SEASONS, THIS IS THE SECOND WORST I'VE SEEN.
BACK IN 2010. WHAT MAKES THIS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT IS THAT WE HAVE A HUGE RAIN EVENT THIS PAST SUMMER. EARLY FALL.
AND WITH THAT THAT IS PROVIDED LOTS OF GROWTH AND VEGETATION.
AND WE HAVE HARD FREEZES AND ALL THE VEGETATION IS NOT FUEL.
WHERE WE WOULD ONLY HAVE 3SS INCHES OF FUEL ON THE GRASS, WE NOW HAVE 2Ö FEET. THAT FUEL IS NOT GONE AWAY.
WE HAVE AN EXCEPTIONALLY LOW HUMIDITY AND IN THESE LOW FRONTS BLOW THROUGH AND OF COURSE THE RAIN ALSO.
THE BIGGEST THIS IS THE BIGGEST CHEMISTRY BEHIND IT IS THAT THIS IS THE MASSIVE LOAD OF FUEL OUT THERE RIGHT NOW.
THAT IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE UNLESS WE GET SOME MAJOR TYPE OF RAIN EVENT, WHICH I DON'T SEE AS YOU JUST SAW THE WEATHER FORECAST. SO, WE WILL PROBABLY BE LOOKING AND GOING INTO THIS TRUCK CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER. WITH THAT FUEL STILL ON THE GROUND. JUST A COUPLE OF NUMBERS I CAN THROW OUT TO YOU. SINCE JANUARY, EST ONE HAS RESPONDED TO 94 WILDFIRES. THESE ARE NOT CALLS THAT WE GET WHERE SOMEONE REPORTS A GRASS FIRE AND WE GET THERE AND IT'S OUT ON ARRIVAL. AND IT WAS A ONE BY ONE.
THESE ARE ACTUAL WILDFIRES REPORTED JUSTICE WILDFIRES TO THE STATE. 51 OF THOSE WERE IN NUECES COUNTY. AS YOU KNOW, MUTUAL AID Ã THERE'S LOTS OF DIFFERENT COUNTIES IN OUR AREA.
MOST OF THE COUNTIES IN SURROUNDING FIRE DEPARTMENTS ARE VOLUNTEER. THEIR DEPARTMENTS ARE AT WORK DURING THE DAY AND BEING THAT WE ARE COMBINATION FIRE DEPARTMENT, WITH THE PEOPLE ON STANDBY AND WE CAN BACKFILL ANTS TO PROTECT OUR DISTRICT. AND OF THOSE 94 FIRES, 64,659 ACRES HAVE BEEN CONSUMED. 4733 THOSE ACRES HERE IN NUECES COUNTY. ALONE.
WHEN YOU CONSIDER NUECES COUNTY HAS LOTS OF FARMLAND JUST AS THAT'S A PRETTY LARGE PERCENTAGE OF THE BRUSH AREA IN NUECES COUNTY. WE'RE REALLY FORTUNATE IN NUECES COUNTY BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF FARMLAND AND THEY START RUNNING LIKE THEY ARE DOING NOW.E HAVE GOT GREEN VEGETATION GROWING. ND THAT DOESN'T BURN IS EASY.
NUECES COUNTY IS NUMBER ONE IN ASSIGNING 385 PERSONNEL TO ALL THOSE WILDFIRES. 131 OF THEM IN NUECES COUNTY FOR A TOTAL OF 702 HOURS OF EMPLOYEE HOURS.
WE FEEL RIGHT NOW THAT WE ARE PROBABLY ÃÃWE HAVE RESERVED FUND, EMERGENCY FUND FOR HURRICANE SEASON.
WE HAVE USED QUITE A BIT OF THAT FOR THE WILDFIRES.
WE ARE PROBABLY IN AT ALMOST $60,000 IN COSTS IN ADDITION TO WHAT WE WOULD NORMALLY USE. JUST BECAUSE OF THE WILDFIRES.
SO, JUST TO SHOW YOU THAT EMERGENCY SITUATION IS NOT OVER, JUST SINCE MARCH 20 THIS IS WEIRD RESPONDED TO 22 WILDFIRE SPREAD OUT OF THAT 94, SINCE 1 JANUARY, 22 OF THEM ARE JUST SINCE 20 MARCH BECAUSE RIGHT THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF APRIL. WE APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE US. WE'RE PRETTY FORTUNATE THAT WE HAVE FULL-TIME FIREFIGHTERS ALSO.
BUT A LOT OF OUR SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES DO NOT.
THEY WORK OFF YOU KNOW, VOLUNTEERS AND RAISING MONEY AT A BOOTH AND THEY ARE HURTING FOR THE WILDFIRES TAKE A HUGE TOLL ON OUR EQUIPMENT AND OUR PERSONNEL.
THE KING RANCH FIRE. WE PERSONNEL THAT WERE DONE HERE FOR 72 HOURS STRAIGHT WITHOUT ANY SLEEP.
WE HOPE WE CAN GET FROM THE COMMISSIONERS COURT IS VERY WELL APPRECIATED. IN CHIEF, WITH REGARDS TO UNIT, TRACKING THOSE COSTS, YOU GUYS ARE CONTINUING TO TRACK BOTH PERSONNEL EQUIPMENT, FUEL, SUPPLIES, ALL THAT IS BEING DONE. IS THAT CORRECT?
>> THAT IS CORRECT. WE ATTENDED REPORT.
WE TRY TO GET THEM IN WEEKLY. IT'S NOT AS EASY FOR SOME OF
[01:10:01]
THE SURROUNDING ESD'S. AS THEY ARE ON A VOLUNTEER BASIS. WE ARE REPORTING THOSE ON A WEEKLY BASIS. SO, WE HAVE A PRETTY GOOD TRACK OF MONEY SPENT PER CALL. YOU KNOW? THERE IS A STANDING MUTUAL WEIGHT IN THE STATE OF TEXAS THAT IF THERE'S NOT A WRITTEN ONE, YOU FALL BACK TO THE STATES MUTUAL AGREEMENT AND YOU KNOW, CALLS FOR THE ENTITY THAT YOU'RE HOLDING TO PROVIDE FUNDS TO FOR REIMBURSE.BUT IN ACTUALITY, THOSE DEPARTMENTS DO NOT HAVE THAT.
SO, WE END UP EATING A LOT OF THE COSTS OR SEEK THE HELP FROM
THE STATE WITH THE FEDERALS. >> AND SO, BECAUSE WE ARE WORKING TOWARDS JUSTICE IT'S GREAT TO HEAR THAT WE'RE GETTING CLOSE TO THAT. IT'S SOMETHING WE MET THE F MAC. WE MET THE F MAG WHICH IS GREAT. AS WE HOPE TO SEEK A FEDERAL DISASTER FOR ME TO THE PUBLIC ASSISTANCE FOR EVEN MAY BE OPPORTUNITIES FOR HAZARD MITIGATION GRANTS.
TO OPEN UP ÃÃYOU IN THE NFL FIRE DEPARTMENT, YOU DO NOT HAVE PEOPLE THAT RUN THOSE FEMA GRANTS TO YOU?DOES FEMA PA? DO YOU GUYS DO THAT WERE RELY ON US TO DO THAT?
>> WE DO RUN THEM INSIDE. WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE YOUR ASSISTANCE. IN SOME OF THE DECLARATIONS TO
YOU OPERATE UNDER OUR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN OR UNDER LOCAL
>> WE HAVE NO LOCAL DISASTER DECKS.
WE ARE NOT RUNNING UNDER THE EMERGENCY PLAN, CORRECT?
>> CORRECT. >> THE ONLY WAY TO TRIGGER THE EMERGENCY PLAN IS TO ACCRUE A DISASTER.
IS THAT CORRECT? >> YES PROGRESS WE DON'T HAVE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN AND THE PEOPLE ARE FIRST RESPONDERS AND HEROES ARE WORKING 72 HOURS, THERE IS REALLY NO WAY
TO COMPENSATE THEM? >> WELL, NO.IKE I SAID, WE
ARE. >> I SHOULD BE VERY CAREFUL PER THERE'S NO WAY TO COMPENSATE THEM FOR THE HOURS THEY ARE
WORKING, RIGHT? >> THERE'S NO WAY TO REIMBURSE OUR DEPARTMENT FOR THAT. BECAUSE WE PAID AS EMPLOYEES.
A MOMENT SOME PEOPLE OUT OF TOWN, COUNTY FOR MUTUAL AID, ACTUALLY BACKFILL OUR STATIONS BECAUSE WE HAVE TO STILL SERVE AS OUR DISTRICT. AND WHEN WE ARE DROPPING OFF LIKE WE DO, IT'S ONLY THREE OR FOUR A DAY.
WHEN IT HAPPENS. JUST THE OTHER DAY, JUST BECAUSE IT WAS RAINING THE OTHER DAY, THUNDERSTORMS STARTED A GRASS FIRE ON JUST ON MONDAY TWO OF THEM.> AND SO,
THEY ARE GETTING PAID. >> THE EMPLOYEE BEING PAID.
ABSOLUTELY. EMPLOYEES ARE BEING PAID.
FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
FOR THE PAY DEPARTMENTS THEY ARE.
BUT FOR VOLUNTEERS, VOLUNTEERS TEST TEST WHICH IS 75 PERCENT OF THIS COUNTRY AS VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS.
AND SO, THE MAJORITY OF THIS AREA TO ASSIST THEIR VOLUNTEERS
AND ARE NOT BEING PAID. >> AND SO, THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN GET RE-COMPENSATED FOR THE FUNDS, ONLY WAY WE CAN GET RECOMPENSATED FOR COSTS THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL IS TO GET SOME OF THOSE FEDERAL OR STATE FUNDS.
>> EVERY QUESTION. SO, VOLUNTEERS JUSTICE THEY REALLY SHOULD GET PAID, RIGHT? I MEAN I COULD SEE VOLUNTEERS AND THEY DON'T GET PAID. VOLUNTEERS TEST IS DID THEY GET
PAID OR NOT? >> DEPENDING ON THE DEPARTMENT, SOME OF THEM GIVEN WHAT THEY GET MY MONEY.
WE ARE A COMBINATION COULD WE DO HAVE SOME VOLUNTEERS.
WE DON'T PAY RUN MONEY. BECAUSE WE ARE COMBINATION.
SOME OF THE STRAY VOLUNTEERS, THEY GET COMPENSATED.
SO, THEY GET $10 PER CALL. MAYBE.
NOW, THEIR EQUIPMENT IS TYPICALLY PAID FOR.OU GOT TO REMEMBER NOT TO OUTFIT A FIREFIGHTER, JUST THEIR BUNKER GEAR IS OVER $5000 PER PERSON. AND NOW, WITH SOME OF THE NEW GUIDELINES ARE, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE TWO SETS FOR EVERY PERSON. BECAUSE OF THE CARCINOGENS THAT
WE BREATHE IN. >> YOU HAVE A GREAT FRONT OF THE TRUCK OR HAVE YOU GREAT PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET MORE
NEXT WE HAVE RECEIVED THE LAST GRANT WE RECEIVED WAS FOR FIREFIGHTER PERSONNEL. THE SAFER GRANT.
>> WE DID GET SOME OF THOSE. WE DON'T GET A LOT BECAUSE WE ARE COMBINATION.HE RESTRICTED AS IF IT WERE A STREET VOLUNTEER DEPARTMENT. THEY GET A LOT MORE OPPORTUNITY THROUGH THE FOURTH STATE FORESTRY GET SOME OF THOSE GRANTS. AND THEY ARE OUT THERE, JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, LIKE THREE WEEKS AGO THIS IS WE LOST A BRUSH TRUCK. CAN A FIRE.
AND I WAS JUST TALKING TO CHIEF CLOCK LAST NIGHT.
REPLACEMENT VALUE OF THE TRUCK IS OVER $200,000.
IN THIS NOT A BIG BRUSH TRUCK. IN THESE SMALLER DEPARTMENTS, THEY ÃTHIS WAS VERY UNUSUAL FOR US TO LOSE ONE.
BUT THEY LOSE THOSE STRUCTURAL TIME DURING FIRES.
CORTINA CHIEF, ONE MORE THING. MAYBE YOU COULD GIVE US A LIST OF WE WANT US TO DO FOR YOU. I KNOW YOU KEEP SAYING.
[01:15:01]
YOU DON'T GET MONEY FOR THIS OR MONEY FOR THAT.WE DISCUSSED TELL US WHAT YOU WANT US TO DO RIGHT NOW? THE FIRST WHAT WE NEED TO SUPPLY YOU?OU KNOW, AS FAR AS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THIS CAN HELP YOU HELP THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS. BUT ALSO, FIRE TRUCK ÃÃI CAN GUARANTEE, YOU CAN GET A FIRE TRUCK AT THE SURPLUS ÃJUST THE FEDERAL SURPLUS YOU KNOW? ALMOST NOTHING.
YOU KNOW?> WE DO HAVE AVAILABILITY TO THE SURPLUS AS PER THE FIRE TRUCKS DO NOT COME THROUGH VERY OFTEN.
AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT WE HAVE ÃJUST TO PRICING REGULAR PUMPERS RECENTLY, WE WERE LATEST WORDS THAT WE HAD TO WORK .2 MILLION RIGHT NOW. JUST FOR SINGLE FIRETRUCK BE.
>> IF I CAN FIND WHAT THE SURPLUS, THIS IS NOT OUR DEPARTMENT, BUT ONE SMALL IMPORTANCE IN THE COUNTY OR IF YOU THAT WOULD APPRECIATE THAT. I CAN TELL YOU NOW THAT THEIR LOVE TO GRANT THAT THERE. WHAT WE REALLY NEED IS TO HELP GET THESE FEDERAL AND STATE FUNDS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO THE DECLARATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN ACTIVE THROUGH THE GOVERNMENT.
WE CAN GET THAT PUT IN PLACE, WE ARE NOWHERE NEAR THE THIS ISSUE. THIS IS PROBABLY GONNA GO AND GET WORSE DURING THE SUMMERTIME.
>> TRIED WITH DELIVERANCE. RUN THAT UP.
[INDISCERNIBLE] >> IS A TAXING ENTITY, WHAT ABILITIES YOU HAVE TO GET REIMBURSED AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE? YOU GUYS RUN YOUR OWN SHOW.
YOU RAISED THIS JUSTICE PASSED A BOND OUT THERE FOR NOT A BOND, A TAX INCREASE THEY GOT YOUR COMMUNITY TO SIGN OFF ON
CRITICALLY, RIGHT? >> WE HAVEN'T.
ESD TO TRIED, BUT IT FELT. WE HAVEN'T.
>> SO THE OTHER ONE, ALAN DID. THAT WAS THE ONE IS JUST ONE FLOWER BUFF DID. THE ONE COLLEGES GOT THE PAST? WHICH IS PASSED ON. THEY HAD A HUGE IMPACT.
TAX INCREASE TO GOT BE ABLE TO DO MORE STUFF.
>> SORRY. >> TOURNAMENT RECENT? WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE LOCAL YEAR.
>> YES, WE DID HAVE ONE WHAT THAT DID WAS LIVES PROVIDE EMS SERVICE. TO THE AREA.
>> SO, AS A TAXING ENTITY, ARE YOU ABLE TO SUBMIT FOR CERTAIN REIMBURSEMENTS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE ALSO?
>> WE CAN. THROUGH DIFFERENT PROGRAMS. ND WE HAVE. OBVIOUSLY, WHEN THERE IS A CERTAIN DISTANCE LIKE YOU SAID WHEN WE MET THE CRITERIA FOR THOSE OF THE GRANTS. THAT HELPS IT.
AND LIKE YOU SAID, I'M JUST HERE TO GIVE YOU THIS INFORMATION. IT'S NOT REALLY ABOUT ESP ONE.
WE WERE ABLE TO COMPENSATE FOR A LOT OF THAT LOSS.
OUR CONCERN IS THAT WE MUTUAL AID SO MANY OTHER ESD'S IN THE AREA. BECAUSE WE DO HAVE FULL-TIME FIREFIGHTERS SITTING AT THE DEPARTMENT WHERE THEY DON'T.
AND THEN OUTSIDE. AND LIKE BROOKS COUNTY CALLED FOR MUTUALLY JUST YESTERDAY. IN A BRUSH FIRE PURPORTS TO GET REIMBURSEMENT FROM BROOKS COUNTY, RIGHT?
>> NO, WE DO NOT. DON'T SUBMIT THAT THE BROOKS COUNTY TO GET THE UNDER DECLARATION OF REIMBURSEMENT?
>> WE DON'T BECAUSE SOME PART DEPARTMENTS DO.
MOST APARTMENTS WEALTH JUST GO BECAUSE THEY NOTE IF WE NEED TO PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALLED FOR HELP, ONE TIME, THEY WILL BE AT OUR BACK AND CALL. THEY PROVIDE, JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, THEY PROVIDE FUEL FOR A SPREAD WHENEVER THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS IS WHEN WE GO OUT OF COUNTY ÃÃIT'S AMAZING.
WHEN WE SHOW UP, THEY GOT FUEL TRUCKS ON SCENE.
THEY NEVER WANT TO LEAVE US IN A TRUCK BACK WITHOUT FUEL, WATER, THEY FEED THE FIREFIGHTERS.
SO, THEY HAVE A HUGE COST THAT THEY INCUR ALSO.
IT'S KIND OF THE HEY, WE'RE GONNA HELP YOU, BUT IF WE WERE NEED YOU, AND IT'S HAPPENED. WE CAN CALL YOU AND THEY WILL
BE ON THE WAY. >> WHY IN A MUTUAL AGREEMENT AND ACCOUNTED THAT'S IN THE LEGITIMATE DISASTER, WHY YOU WOULDN'T SUBMIT THEM TO REIMBURSE YOU BECAUSE THEY WOULD SUBMIT UNDER THEIR DISASTER TO GET REIMBURSED FOR WHAT THEY REIMBURSE YOU FOR. IN OTHER WORDS, EITHER PROBLEM AND YOU PROBABLY SAW. EVER PROBLEM WITH DECLINED DISASTERS TO GET GRANTS REIMBURSEMENT OR TO GET MONEY REIMBURSED. I THINK IT SHOULD BE FOR AN EMERGENCY OR REAL EMERGENCY. IF CLAIBORNE COUNTY OF BROOKS COUNTY HAS HAD THESE RAGING FIRES OR UNDER EMERGENCIES, THEN THEY CAN ASK FOR REIMBURSEMENT UNDER THEIR EMERGENCY FOR WHATEVER THEY PAID..E. YOU.
BUT IF YOU'RE NOT SUBMITTING TO THE, YOUR REIMBURSEMENT, WE HAVE OTHER WAYS OF GETTING REIMBURSEMENT IS BECAUSE WE'RE GOING ON A HAPPY DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T JUST AS WE GET REIMBURSEMENTS FOR THOSE. AND WE CAN.HIS MAKES IT A LOT EASIER WHEN ALL THE PARTS ARE IN PLACE, BUT JUST KIND OF WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS CLEARS.
JUST BECAUSE THERE'S NOT A FIRE BURNING RIGHT THIS SECOND.
DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT CAN'T HAPPEN TOMORROW MORNING.
>> CORPUS CHRISTI PROBABLY ABOUT 60 PERCENT OF THE TIME.
AND IT'S THIS ÃBUT, RIGHT NOW, AND WE HAVE A GRASS FIRE WITH LOW HUMIDITY AND LOW FUEL LOAD, WE CAN ONLY HAVE IT UNDER CONTROL 20 OR 30 MINUTES. WITH WHAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW,
[01:20:06]
WE WILL LOSE STRUCTURES. WE HAD 169 THE OTHER DAY JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO. THE DAY BEFORE THE PUMPHREY FIRE. THAT WAS A STRUCTURE FIRE THAT ENDED UP BURNING 50 ACRES AND BURN DOWN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.>> THANK GOD. THEY'RE DOING WHAT YOU DO.
WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU DO.
AGAIN, I THINK IT'S AWESOME THAT YOU DO AND I'M GLAD YOU'RE SAYING THERE'S DIFFERENT WAYS FOR YOU TO GET REIMBURSED.
I WOULD REALLY STRONGLY AND YOU YOUR OWN TAXING ENTITY AND HAVE YOUR OWN BOARD WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU AND OTHER THAN THAT, YOU'RE HERE TALKING, SO SINCE YOU GIVEN HIS INPUT, I'M GIVING INPUT. FINALLY SUGGESTING TO YOUR BOARD THAT YOU SUBMIT YOUR REIMBURSEMENTS TO THESE COUNTIES THAT HAVE DECLARATIONS BECAUSE THEY HAVE RAGING FIRES.
BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE MY OPINION ANY TO GET REIMBURSED PRETTY FOR NOT SUBMITTING IT BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT ARE CHOOSING NOT TO, THAT'S GREAT. IT'S UP TO Y'ALL.
THAT'S YOUR PREROGATIVE. BUT IT'S MY PREROGATIVE TO SAVE THEM ACCORDING TO PUT THIS COUNTY UNDER EMERGENCY 60 PERCENT OF THE TIME. JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE THESE DRY HORRIBLE CONDITIONS. THAT'S THE RIGHT STANDARD.
JUST DON'T. RIGHT? BUT, HE HERE IS AN BECAUSE THIS INFORMATION NOT BE JUST BECAUSE IT'S WHAT? THE TAXPAYER DOLLARS TWO.
SO, JUST BECAUSE WERE GETTING REVERSED, IT'S LOOKING AT PEOPLE'S POCKETS. THAT'S ALL TAXPAYER DOLLARS.
SO I'M NOT GOING TO GO OUT THERE AND DO SOMETHING THAT MAKES ME FEEL IT FROM GAMING THE SYSTEM.
JUST TO GET GRANTS REIMBURSED. THESE ARE LIFE, I BELIEVE WE ARE GONNA BE IN A STATE OF AMENDMENT TO IN THIS COUNTY AND THIS WHILE I THINK THE REST OF OUR LIVES.
HAT YOU AND I GREW UP HERE. ARKS COMMISSION.
>> HOLD ON JUST FROM TALKING TO HIM.
YOU AND I GREW UP HERE, WE'VE TALKED ÃÃTHIS HAS BEEN MY WHOLE LIFE.HIS IS HAS BEEN OUR WHOLE LIVES.
THESE ARE CONDITIONS THAT HAVE BEEN PERPETUATED IN THIS COMMUNITY FOR AS LONG AS I BELIEVED HERE.
IF WE ARE TO LIVE UNDER CONSTANT STATE OF EMERGENCY, JUST TO GET GRANTS REIMBURSED OR BECAUSE THIS IS A NEW WAY, THEN WE NEED TO HAVE A LONG PHILOSOPHICAL DISCUSSION, BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO GO ON AND ON AMOUNT.
THIS SUMMER IS GOING TO GET WORSE.E OUGHT TO JUST SAY IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEN IMMEDIATELY TO THE COMMUNITY THAT WE ARE TO LIVE UNDER EMERGENCY FOR THE ENTIRE SUMMER BECAUSE THESE TORNADOES ARE GONNA BE HERE.
SITTING AT WORK PRETTY SOON YOU GET HOTTER AND DRIER.
THAT'S WHY WE PUT BURN BANS IN PLACE.
NOT RIGHT FOR ME TO SAY TO LIVE UNDER CONSTANT STATE OF EMERGENCY JUST TO GET GRANTS REIMBURSED.
THAT'S NOT FAIR TO ME. RIGHT? THAT'S THIS TEST THAT IS STILL THIS IS WE'RE GONNA GET REIMBURSEMENT ANOTHER TAXPAYER DOLLARS PER THE TAXPAYERS GONNA PAY FOR IT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. THERE IS A GONNA PAY YOU OR THE GONNA HAVE TO PAY THE COUNTIES GONNA CHARGE THEM FOR THE GOVERNMENT GONNA CHARGE THEM. AS REIMBURSEMENTS DON'T COME FOR FREE. SOMEONE HAS TO PAY FOR THIS.
AND THAT'S THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.O, I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE DOING, BUT I HOPE THAT YOU ALL ARE CONSIDERING REALLY LOOKING AT HOW YOU CAN GET REIMBURSED WITHOUT HAVING TO BE DECLARED AN EMERGENCY BECAUSE THERE ARE AS YOU SAID, OTHER WAYS TO DO THAT. SO I AGAIN, JUSTICE
[INDISCERNIBLE] >> COMMISSIONER MORRIS WANTS TO
SAY SOMETHING. >> APPRECIATE THE HARD WORK Y'ALL DO. THE ESD DOES GREAT WORK.
OUR LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT IS GREAT WORK.
THIS IS ALL DISCUSSION ABOUT REIMBURSEMENTS.
NOT ABOUT ANYTHING QUALITY WISE FOR WHAT YOU GUYS DO IN ANY
WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM. >> COMMISSIONER MORRIS?
>> A LONG BUSY DAY. WE WERE WITH HIM LAST NIGHT.
AND WITH THE GREAT EVENT. ROCKS 10.
>> ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD? I THINK AT SOME POINT, WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A POLICY DISCUSSION ON THE APPROACH THAT WE TAKE FOR GRANTS AND I AGREE.
HIS DOES PUT A BURDEN ON THE STATE OR FEDERAL LEVEL.
GUESS WHAT? THAT MONEY IS THERE.
AND IF WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR, SOMEONE ELSE IS GETTING AT THE MONEY WE ARE PUTTING IN BUT WE ARE PUTTING IN MONEY REGARDLESS. AND SO, THAT MONEY CAN GO TO KENTUCKY OR SOMEWHERE ELSE. AND WE DON'T ASK FOR.
I THINK WE DO NEED TO SIT DOWN AND HAVE A TRUE DISCUSSION ON HOW WE APPROACH GRANTS. ECAUSE JUST TO IGNORE AND SAY IT'S NOT HAPPENING DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT.
OBVIOUSLY CHIEF, HE SAID THIS IS THE SECOND WORST HE'S SEEN PAID THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS EXTENDED.
THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS NORMAL.
AND TO HANDCUFF OUR EMERGENCY RESPONDERS IN ANY WAY IS UNACCEPTABLE. THAT'S ONE OF OUR MAIN CHARGES HERE. EMERGENCY RESPONSES AND SUPPORT YOU ALL. WE GET THE PHILOSOPHICAL CONCERN AND I SHARE IT TOO. WE ARE ALL TAXPAYERS.
THE CHIEF, TELLS FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE, YOU WERE TELLING US YESTERDAY AND LAST NIGHT AND ON SATURDAY WHEN WE SAW YOU AS WELL. RESPONSE TO THE BONE MAGNIFIER AND OTHER FIRES. OUR OWN BACKYARD, RIGHT? RIGHT IN PRECINCT 3 AND ROXANNE AREA.
TELLS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT AND SOME OF THOSE UPDATES.
>> CHIEF ÃÃJUST A WHILE AGO, WE RESPONDED TO ANYWHERE WHERE
[01:25:01]
WE WERE CALLED FOR PRINT AND ANOTHER'S REIMBURSEMENT AND EVERYTHING, BUT IT'S MORE FOR THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS THAT NEED THE HELP.'VE BEEN CALLED FROM OTHER PLACES ÃÃEVEN OUR LOCAL VOLUNTEERS DON'T HAVE WATER.SO, WE MADE IT FUN FOR THEM TO WATER GATORADE AND DRINKS AND - ANYTHING JUST HELP THEM OUT. THE FIRE WE HAD OUT THERE.
WE ARE OUT THERE PROBABLY TWO DAYS.
WITHOUT THE HELP OF OUR SURROUNDING AREAS.
WE CAN CONTROL THAT. IT'S TO DRIVE.
LIKE YOU SAID, 2010 WAS THE LAST ONE.
I WAS THERE ALSO WARMING OF THE FIRE.
NOW, IT'S LIKE EVERY DAY THREE OR FOUR FIRES.
OUR JOB IS TO PROTECT THE COUNTY.
THE CITY, BUT WE ALSO GOT IN THE COUNTY AND PROTECT THE COUNTY WITH THE CITY OF ROBSON. AND THERE IS A POLICY ON MY DEPARTMENT ON HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE SENT OUT THERE.
IN THIS POLICY, DO NOT FOLLOW. WILL CALL OUT OF IT OR HELP OUT. BECAUSE THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN CONTROL THE FIRE PROTECT BRING IN PEOPLE ON OVERTIME TO ASSIST US. AND THAT'S NOT WHERE MY BUDGET, ESPECIALLY WITH HER CASE COMING UP AND WE ARE FOUR GUYS AND WE HAVE FIRE ON THE COUNTY, I HAVE TO BRING AT LEAST TWO OR THREE OF THEM TO HELP US. THERE IS VOLUNTEERS THAT WE HAVE. THERE'S ONLY FIVE OF US BUT FIVE VOLUNTEERS. THAT'S WHY WE RELY ON ESD'S TO GO OUT THERE AND HELP US. WE ALSO HAVE THE PALM TREE FIRE, WHERE WE HAD PEOPLE FROM EVERYWHERE HELPING OUT.
NOT JUST NOISES IN THE COUNTY. WE HAD THEM IN ORANGE GROVE AND 70 PEOPLE. COME OUT AND HELP US.
HAS TO BE A WAY THEY CAN GET REIMBURSED FOR A LOT OF THAT.
>> LOOK, WE SUPPORT YOU ALL. IT'S NOT LIKE WE DON'T.
WAS THERE A DIFFERENT WAY OF LOOKING AT HOW WE SHOULD GET FUNDING OR WE SHOULD GIVE US ONE.THAT'S WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO. THAT IS SOMETHING FOR US TO DISCUSS AND WORK ON THE POLICY SIDE.
YOU'LL JUST NEED TO RESPOND AND YOU HAVE TO AND YOU CHOOSE TO.
IT'S BEING A GOOD NEIGHBOR. KNOWING THAT GOD FOR BID ONE DAY YOU'RE GONNA NEED THE HELP AND RESPONSE.
AND WHATEVER DISASTER IT IS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE AND THE AMOUNT OF RESOURCES THAT YOU HAVE MIGHT BE LIMITED.
AND SO, THOSE OTHER DEPARTMENTS TO COME AND HELP YOU AS WILL AS WELL. WE SEE AND GET IT AND WE THANK YOU ALL FOR IT. WE TRY TO BE THERE FOR YOU IN THE PAST AND HAVE A VERY GOOD DISCUSSION FOR US TO DECIDE IN THE FUTURE HOW DO WE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THAT.
IF YOU CAN BE RESOURCEFUL AND IF THERE IS OTHER FUNDING, USE IT. OF COURSE, WE WANT TO BE MINDFUL OF WHAT IS GIVEN TO US AS TAXPAYERS.
OUR RESPONSE IS A RESPONSE. GOING TO THE BUNKER THEN GET TO THE BRUSH. GOING TO THE HOMES.XTRACT PEOPLE FROM VEHICLES. ALL THOSE DISASTERS, A SMALLER ONE THAT WE DON'T REALLY NECESSARILY SEE IN THE MEDIA.
ALTHOUGH STILL HAVING THE PULL FROM YOUR DIFFERENT STATION THOSE THAT ARE OFF-DUTY ÃAS WE ARE HAPPY.
I THINK THIS IS A GOOD DISCUSSION.
I THINK JUST GENERAL INFORMATION TO REPORT.
IT'S TOO IMPORTANT BECAUSE BECAUSE TO THE OTHER DISCUSSION THAT WE HAD. IS THAT THE LAST MEETING ON RESPONSES RESOURCES. I'M SURE YOU WILL CONTINUE TO HEAR FROM US. OUR CONCERNS, WE WILL HEAR FROM YOU AND CHIEF? THANKS FOR BEING A GREAT PARTNER AND AND OF THE VOLUNTEERS HAD A FUNDRAISER RECENTLY THERE AND ROB'S 10. F THERE'S ANY WAY WE CAN CONTINUE TO SUPPORT, ANOINT TO GET WITH YOU AND HELP YOU WITH THAT.F THERE'S ANY WAY WE CAN SUPPORT VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENTS JENNY, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS ALLOWABLE FROM MAY BE FUNDS, CAN WE DO THAT?, IF WE CAN DO THAT.
IF WE CAN DO THAT, I WOULD LOVE TO HELP WORK WITH CLIENT AND OUTSIDE THE AREA. BECAUSE WE DID THE ASD WANTED THIS TO THE COUNTY RESPONSE TO OUR AREA AS WELL IN THE PRECINCTS. THAT WILL BE SOMETHING I WILL DO. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU ALL. >> CHIEF AND LOUIS, WE DO APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE. THE COG THAT'S JUST THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS HAS A MASTER MUTUAL AID AGREEMENT.
IT'S CALLED THE MUTUAL ÃÃIT'S CALLED THE MASTER AGREEMENT FOR MUTUAL AID. AND THIS IS THE DOCUMENT THAT GOVERNS. AND I WANT TO SEE JENNY HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THAT DOCUMENT.
BECAUSE THERE IS A PARAGRAPH QUOTE RESPONSIBILITY FOR RESPONSE COST. ANTI-DETERMINATION IS NOT FROM CHIEF HILLIARD. OR ANY OF OUR CHEEKS.
WHAT HAPPENED HERE IS A COCKLE DETERMINE IF IT'S REASONABLE.
THE COG WILL DETERMINE IF SOMEBODY IS PHYSICALLY ABLE.
I WANT TO ELIMINATE THIS IDEA THAT YOU SENT A BILL AND GET
[01:30:04]
PAID. THAT'S NOT HOW IT HAPPENS.IF YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW TO HELP THESE FOLKS, THEY ARE TELLING YOU THERE IS IMMINENT HARM. SORRY MISTY.
I NEED THIS TO ABOUT FOR JUST A MOMENT.
BUT, WHAT YOU MISSED WAS PRETTY CRITICAL.
WHICH WAS MELISSA HOFFMAN'S DISCUSSION OF THE ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES. AND THE LOW THEN PRECIPITATION.
AND THE EXTREME AND SEVERE CONDITIONS THAT EXIST FOR WILDFIRE.N OTHER WORDS, IT'S NOT LIKE NORMAL.
WE HAVEN'T BY CHIEF HILLIARD'S ONLY ADMISSION, HE IS DONE OVER 94 WILDFIRES. THAT IS EXTREME AND THE REASON IT'S EXTREME DISCUS YOU DID SOMETHING THAT I HAD NOT HEARD SAID AND I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE REPEATEDLY WAY.
IT'S AN AWESOME EXPLANATION AND WHY WE ARE IN THIS SITUATION.
IT'S HIGHLY UNUSUAL. WE HAD GREAT RINGS LAST SUMMER.
CLICK REALLY GREAT. AND THAT FIELD GROWTH AND THEN WE HAD A STRANGE DUST OF SOME SORT, THIS GOES BACK TO A YEAR BEFORE. AND THEN WE HAD A STRANGE WINTER STORM. THAT BURNED EVERYTHING.
AND NOW THAT HAS LEFT US WITH VEGETATION THAT HAS REALLY REALLY DRY. SO, YOU HAVE A BIZARRE DUE TO EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS. AN AMOUNT OF FUEL ON THE GROUND. NOW YOU COUPLE THAT WITH LOWER THAN NORMAL PRECIPITATION FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.
PLUS ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.
AND A DRAFT ON TOP OF THAT. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THE FACTS SUPPORT IT BEING LIKE ALWAYS OR LIKE NORMAL.
AND THE REASON CHIEF HILLIARD STATED AGAIN, I'M SORRY YOU HAD TO STEP OUT. WHEN YOU STEPPED OUT, HE ALSO STATED THAT IN ADDITION TO ALL THE FIRES THAT HE HAS, YOU KNOW, RESPONDED TO ALONG WITH THE OTHER CHIEFS.
THE THIS VERY ODD SET OF WEATHER CONDITIONS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THERE IS A FLAME OR NOT.
CREATES AN EMINENT THREAT, RIGHT? IT CREATES A SEVERE SITUATION AND WITHOUT THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN AND OPERATION, YOU'VE HINDERED THEIR ABILITIES. AND THAT IS WHY WE NEED TO HAVE EXTENDED IT LAST WEEK AND THE REASON FOR ALL THIS INFORMATION IS TO GIVE US ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO EVALUATE AND WAY. WE CANNOT GO BACKWARDS BUT WE VERY LOST THAT. AND WITHOUT THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN, WE ARE NOT ABLE TO CREATE THAT PREPAREDNESS. THAT RESPONSE.
AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE RECOVERY.
AND IF YOU LOOK AT PARAGRAPH SEVEN, WHICH WE ALL PROMISED EACH OTHER WE WOULD. SO I DON'T KNOW IF WE WOULD.
THE OTHER THING THAT CONCERNS ME IS THAT IT'S VERY SPECIFIC ABOUT PERSONNEL. PERSONNEL THAT ARE ASSIGNED, DESIGNATED OR ORDERED BY THE GOVERNING BODY TO PERFORM DUTIES PURSUING THIS AGREEMENT. SHIITE CONTINUED TO RECEIVE FROM THE PARTY AND OTHER COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS ETC.
ETC. FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF THEIR DUTIES.
AT THE TIME WE DON'T HAVE THAT EMERGENCY MEDICAL PLAN IN ACTION, WE ARE HINDERING HER OPPORTUNITY TO RECOVER.
SO, IF YOU CARE ABOUT THE TAXPAYER AND YOU WANT TO HELP THEM, THEN YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO AVAIL THEM OF THE FEDERAL AND STATE DOLLARS THAT COULD COME OUR WAY.
AND THAT IS WHAT IS SO CONSUMING AND WHY WE WANT TO BRING THE INFORMATION TO THE COURT, BECAUSE IT COULD FEEL LIKE IT'S NORMAL.
UT, IT'S NOT. AND THE FACTS HAVE ESTABLISHED THAT HERE TODAY. BOTH FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AND THE CHIEF HANDLING THE FIRES.
WE ALSO HAVE SOMETHING LOUIS CALLED THE SOUTH TEXAS CHIEF FIRE CHIEFS ORGANIZATION. AND THEY COLLECTIVELY MEET.
AND I MIGHT ASK FOR THEM TO PROVIDE TO THIS COURT.
WHAT COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ REPORTS SPEED WHAT IS IT THAT YOU NEED? WHAT THEY ASKED FOR WAS THE EXTENSION OF THE DECLARATION. ND SO, HAVING DONE THAT, MY CONCERN IS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO ASK TIMMY AGAIN AND YOU ALL NEED TO JUSTICE WHEN THESE CONDITIONS.
ASK THIS COUNTY FOR THAT DECLARATION.
BECAUSE ONLY YOU ARE FIGHTING THESE FIRES.
ONLY YOU KNOW THE TOLL THAT IT'S TAKING ON YOUR PERSONNEL.
YOUR EQUIPMENT, AND WHETHER OR NOT THIS EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN. NOT BEING IN ACTION IS HURTING
YOU. >> I'VE GOT A QUESTION FOR THE
CHIEF WAS A PART OF? >> ANGRY.
HALF OF WHAT THE JUDGE SAYS IN HALF I DON'T.
JUST SO, TO LET YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT ABOUT THE DECLARATION.
I THINK YOU GUYS NEED TO DO. AND YOU DO GOOD.
YOU NEED TO GO AHEAD AND TAKE CARE OF THE APARTMENTS AND EMBARRASSMENTS AND UNCOVER EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO COVER FOR EMPLOYEES. WITH THAT SHE SAID ÃTHIS WILL HAVE WATER OR DRINKS. NOT REALLY BOTHERING ME.
[01:35:04]
WE GIVE WATER TO EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD.A WHILE BACK. WE DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH WATER. SO, WHILE WE WERE PROBLEM WITH
WATER NOW? >> THAT'S CAN BE OF THE VOLUNTEER. SOME VOLUNTEERS AT SKIDMORE, THEY HAVE GONE THROUGH SO MANY CALLS AND THEY RANK ALL NIGHT.
THEY RUN OUT OF GATORADE. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE FACEBOOK,
THEY'RE ALL ASKING FOR WATER. >> YOU NEED SUPPLIES? CAN WE HELP YOU WITH THAT?> WE'RE SENDING SOME TODAY.
IN FACT, I HAVE A TRUCK, A TAHOE WITH WERE GOING TO
SKIDMORE. >> PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE WATER.
THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR TODAY.
>> IF YOU GO ON THE FACEBOOK PAGE.
>> AND GIVE WATER TO EVERYBODY AT ONE TIME, YOU KNOW?
>> ONLY LAST SO LONG. WE HAVE TO GET HYDRATED WHEN
>> WE CANNOT AFFORD TO GIVE THEM WATER UNLESS WE GET
REIMBURSED? >> SOME OF THE VOLUNTEERS QUICKLY GO OUT THERE, THEY DO IT FOR FREE.
AND THEY DRINK THE WATER OUT THERE.
>> WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH BEING MEMBERS REIMBURSED? THAT'S WHAT WE ARE HELPING THEM WITH.
>> SOME OF THE SUPPLY THEY DO NOT HAVE.
>> YOU'RE GETTING A SUPPLIES ANYWAY.
>> PRIVATE DONATIONS THAT ARE BEING GIVEN TO US AND WE ARE TAKING IT TO THEM. IF YOU NEED HELP WITH THAT, LET
ME KNOW. >> I WILL DEFINITELY LET YOU
KNOW SO WE CAN TAKE SOME TIME. >> LOUIS, LET'S WRAP UP SO THAT WE CAN MOVE ON. ANYTHING ELSE HERE FOR US THIS
MORNING? >> THIS PUTTING WANT TO TALK ABOUT OF COURSE, BUT IN THE INTEREST OF TIME.
>> I CAN WRAP UP RIGHT NOW JUDGE.
EMERGENCY DECLARATION THAT WE CAN ENACT WILL ALLOW US TO PURCHASE LIFE-SAVING SUPPLIES THAT WE NEED IF THOSE VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS NEEDED IT. YOU CAN ALSO CONTACT THE DOC.
AND ALSO WE COULD SUPPLY WATER AS WELL, BECAUSE WE DO HAVE SOME. ONCE AGAIN GOING BACK TO THE PLAN AN EMERGENCY. SO, IT'S ALSO MUCH AS REIMBURSEMENT THAT IS THE BIG ISSUE, THAT'S A BIG PART OF THE ISSUE. BUT, BEING PREPARED AND BEING ABLE TO PREVENT AND PROTECT THE RESIDENTS OF THE COUNTY IS THE MAIN GOAL FOR THIS DISASTER DECLARATION.
>> WHAT'S YOUR APPAREL FOR THAT?
>> THAT IS PARTLY CORRECT COMMISSIONER?
>> WHAT IS NOT CORRECT? >> WE WATERWAY, WE DON'T GIVE WATER BACK. WITH THE COME UP WITH THE FUNDS
OURSELVES. >> I AM SAYING YOU ARE PREPARED TO HELP. RIGHT.
WHETHER THERE IS A DECLARATION OR NOT A DECLARATION.
THIS IS WHAT Y'ALL DO FOR LIVING ALL THE TIME.
YOU PREPARED CONSTANTLY FOR EMERGENCIES IN NUECES COUNTY.
IT'S NOT ABOUT THE DECLARATION. IT'S ABOUT THE REIMBURSEMENTS PER.> THAT'S PART OF IT COMMISSIONER.
ONCE AGAIN, I THINK THE ENTIRE PIECE OF THE PUZZLE IS DEPARTMENT SERVICES THAT WE ARE PROVIDING EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT AND FUNDING AND LIFE-SUPPORT THAT
IS NEEDED. >> WHILE YOU ARE PROVIDING FRONT OF THE COUNTY, FOR OUR CANDIDATE.
AS WELL. >> IS THAT HAPPENING?
>> WE HAVE VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS.
>> OASIS COUNTY. THEY ARE ASKING FOR WATER?
>> ACCORDING TO CHIEFS APART. AND THEY RAISED FUNDS TO GET THAT WATER. THE PROBLEM IS THAT IF YOU NEED WATER, YOU NEED WATER. IF YOU'RE FIGHTING A FIRE, AGAIN, THE COUNTY AREA, IF YOU'RE FIGHTING ACROSS THE STATE AND BELL COUNTY. IF YOU NEED THAT WATER, YOU
NEED IT. >> RIGHT, SO WE GIVE THEM WATER. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE ISSUE.
THEY NEED ONE, LET'S GIVE THEM WATER WE NEED TO HELP THEM.
EVER UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT HAS TO DO.
>> THEY WILL, ON ME AGAIN, IN THE INTEREST OF TIME, THERE IS JUST A HUGE DISCONNECT ABOUT WHAT THE ADVANTAGES OF THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN ARE.
N CAN ASK IDEA TO PROVIDE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN.
YOU KNOW, WORKSHOP OR SOMETHING.
THERE'S A REAL DISCONNECT ON THE VALUE OF WHAT THESE DECLARATIONS DO. IT'S WHY ALL DISTRICT 20 HAS ONE IN PLACE. THREAD STATE OF TEXAS HAS URGED US TO DO THAT. AND THERE IS A DISCONNECT.
AND IT ISN'T ABOUT JUSTICE WE STAND READY.
BUT WITHOUT THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN TEST IS WITHOUT ENACTING HIS AGREEMENTS THAT ARE TRIGGERED BY IT.
IT DOES NOT WORK AS EFFECTIVELY.
IF YOU WANT TO LEARN HOW TO HELP, WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO USE THE TOOLS, THAT TEXAS HAS SET UP.
AND EXPERTS IN THE NATION. IN DOING THIS.
WE NEED TO FOLLOW WITH THE GOVERNOR THIS IS WHAT TATUM HAS ENACTED US TO DO. AND THAT IS WHY THESE DECLARATIONS ARE CRITICAL. WHAT I WANT TO ESTABLISH TODAY ÃTHIS THINK WE DID. WE ARE IN SEVERE CRITICAL SITUATION FOR WILDFIRE CONDITIONS.
THIS IS NOT NORMAL. AND I WANT THE COURT TO BE AWARE FROM THE WEATHER SERVICE FROM THE CHIEFS, THAT IS VERY SERIOUS. OUR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN
[3. Receive an update on the construction of the new Harbor Bridge replacement project.]
SHOULD BE IN ACTION. AND IT'S NOT.[01:40:01]
AND I WANT TO BRING IT TO YOUR ATTENTION.I HOPE WE CAN REEVALUATE. THANK YOU LOUIS.
OKAY, LET'S MOVE ON TO THE HARBOR BRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROJECT. IT IS ITEM NUMBER 383.
IT'S REQUEST FROM COMMISSIONER ON MARS AND THEN WE WILL MOVE BACK TO CONSENT. RECEIVE AN UPDATE FROM THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW HARBOR BRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROJECT.
AND WE WELCOME OUR RTA APPOINTEE.
BUT ALSO THE COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR FOR ANDREW GODDESS.
THEN ALLISON? >> GOOD MORNING JUDGE.
AND COMMISSIONERS. I'M SORRY TO MISS COMMISSIONER HERNANDEZ, BECAUSE I'VE A LOT TO SHARE WITH YOU.
AND I'M GONNA TRY AND KEEP THIS REPORT AND BELINDA WANTED IT TO BE 10 MINUTES, BUT IT'S BEEN ABOUT TWO YEARS SINCE HE HAD A PROPER UPDATE. SO, WHEN SPEAK QUICKLY.
I HAD 17 SLIDES TO POWER THROUGH HERE.
I WANT TO START WITH AN ANNOUNCEMENT.
I'M SURE YOU'VE HEARD BY NOW. I'VE SAVED US TOWARDS THE END OF MY PRESENTATION WHICH WAS A MISTAKE.
REVISED TIMELINE FOR COMPLETION FOR THE MAIN SPAN OPEN TO TRAFFIC AND IN THE SUMMER OF 2024.
WITHIN THAT, WE WILL START IMMEDIATELY WITH THE DEMOLITION PHASE STUPID WITH THAT, I WILL GET STARTED HERE.
IF WE CAN ADVANCE THE SLIDE PLEASE? JUST A QUICK AGENDA OVERVIEW. WE'RE GONNA GO THROUGH THE CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS FROM DIFFERENT REGIONS AND AREAS OF THE PROJECT.
ROADWORKS AND TRAFFIC MOVEMENTS.
THE RECAST YOUR NORTH APPROACHING SOUTH APPROACH FOR THE CABLE STATE BRIDGE AND THE UPDATE ON THE PILE ON PROGRESS.
I WANTED TO ADD IN A LITTLE NOTE ABOUT LIGHTING SINCE EVERYBODY SO MISSES THE EXISTING BRIDGE LIGHTING AND THEN I WILL TAKE YOUR QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU. YOU'VE ALL SEEN THE TRAFFIC AND THE DETOURS AND THE CONSTRUCTION AROUND THE SOUTH INTERCHANGE. THIS WAS THE PREVIOUS SOUTH INTERCHANGE WITH THE PREVIOUS PROGRAMS THAT WE HAD.
ALL FOUR RENTS ARE EITHER THE MOST NOW OR IN THE PROCESS OF BEING DEMOLISHED. IF YOU'LL ADVANCE THE SLIDE PLEASE, SO, TO GET FROM THAT SLIDE TO THIS SLIDE, WHERE YOU SEE THE FINAL CONFIGURATION WITH THE FOUR NEW MAIN CONNECTORS THAT CONNECT WHERE 181 CONNECTS TO STATE HIGHWAY 286 AND THE TWO BLUEPRINTS, WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF THE NEXT SLIDE. SO, JUST SO YOU KNOW, I UPDATE THESE PRESENTATIONS EVERY EVENT AND EVERY PRESENTATION FROM THE SCHOOL OUTREACH EVENT TO OUR STAKEHOLDERS LIKE YOURSELVES.
THESE PRESENTATIONS ARE FROM MARCH.
I THINK A LOT IS CAN BE SAID IN A PHOTOGRAPH.
IF YOU LOOK AT THIS CAREFULLY, YOU CAN SEE THE COMPLEXITY OF WHAT IS GOING ON. AS WE ADVANCE THROUGH THIS INTERCHANGE. WE HAVE OPENED LAST FALL, WE OPENED THE FIRST OF THE FOUR DIRECT CONNECTORS.
CONNECTING SOUTHBOUND Ã DISCONNECTING NORTHBOUND 286 THE NORTHBOUND 37. AND JUST LAST MONTH, WE OPENED A SECOND CONNECTOR. WHICH CONNECTS SOUTHBOUND 37 TO SOUTH BEND TO EXPLORE HIGHWAY EXPRESSWAY IF YOU WILL.
AND YOU CAN REALLY SEE HOW WE GOT THE LOOP RAMP (LAST FALL AND HOW THE 181 PROGRESS IS COMING TO WHERE THIS WILL BE THE FINAL TIE IN POINT.LEASE FORGIVE ME, I'M GONNA HAVE TO LOOK AT MY NOTES QUICKLY. I WAS TRYING TO STRENGTHEN
ITEMS TO MAKE THIS SHORT. >> TAKE YOUR TIME.
>> AND WANT TO MISS ANYTHING. >> THIS IS THE BRIDGE OF OUR
LIFETIME. >> IT'S REALLY EXCITING TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. I THINK AND HOPE YOU CAN HEAR THE EXCITEMENT.
KNOW WE'VE HAD OUR SETBACKS. LET ME BUT JUST MAKE SURE THAT I DIDN'T MISS ANYTHING THERE. HE REALLY CLOSE IN ON THIS PHOTO AND JUDGE, BE HAPPY TO SEND YOU MY NOTES TO SHARE WITH JUST COMMISSIONER HERNANDEZ. YOU CONCEAL THE DEMOLITION THAT'S GOING ON AND TO KEEP LIVE TRAFFIC MOVING WHILE WE HAVE DEMOLITION WHILE WE HAVE READ CLOSURES IS NO SMALL TASK.
IT TAKES A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF COORDINATION, WHICH ARE HEAVILY INVOLVED IN FROM YOU KNOW, THE CITY, THE COUNTY, THE LE PC, THE EMERGENCY RESPONDERS FROM PORTLAND TO CAL ALLEN ROB'S TOWN. TREMENDOUS OUTREACH IS UNDERWAY FOR EACH TRAFFIC ADVISORY AND SEVERAL OF YOU AND SEVERAL IN THE COUNTY COURTHOUSE YOU RECEIVED MY NOTIFICATIONS.
I SENT THOSE NOTIFICATIONS OUT TO ABOUT 200 PEOPLE INCLUDING MEDIA GROUPS AND STAKEHOLDER GROUPS.ND I'M ALWAYS WILLING TO ADD ANYONE ELSE TO THAT NOTIFICATION IF YOU JUST SEND ME A QUICK EMAIL OR PHONE CALL. SO, NEXT SLIDE PLEASE?
>> WE WILL GO ACROSS THE BRIDGE AND LOOK AT THE U.S. 181.
RECONSTRUCTION HERE. WE COULD SEE THAT WE HAVE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF GROUND PREPARATION UNDERWAY.
KIND OF IN THAT MIDDLE LEADING UP TO THAT NORTH APPROACH.
HUNDREDS OF FILES BEING DRIVEN 60 TO 70 FEET.
TO STABILIZE THAT HOLE SWAP THE GROUND LEADING UP TO THE NORTH
[01:45:01]
APPROACH OF ABUTMENT THAT WILL BE THE FUTURE TYPE.OU SEE HOW THE REALIGNMENT WILL TAKE PLACE.AND LAST YEAR, WE OPENED AND COMPLETED THE ROAD ACCESS, WHICH IS ALSO SERVING AS THE TORQUE WILL BE CONTINUALLY SHIFTS IN THE AREA. RIGHT NOW, WE DO HAVE TWO SOUTHBOUND DISHES TO NORTHBOUND EXITS ON NORTH BEACH.
IT WILL NOT BE THE FINAL CONFIGURATION.
THERE WILL BE ONE WITH MAN AND ONE SOUTHBOUND.
EXIT. I KNOW THAT HAS BEEN A TOPIC OF DISCUSSION. THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE HIGH OF THE BRIDGE.> NEXT SLIDE PLEASE?
>> WHEN I GO TO THE PRECAST JAR BECAUSE EVERYTHING REALLY DOES TIE IN TOGETHER. THIS IS REALLY THE HEARTBEAT HOW WE BUILD OUR APPROACHES AND MAIN SPAN OF THIS WE HAVE HAD TREMENDOUS PROGRESS OUT THERE IN THE PRECAST ERA.AST FALL, WE COMPLETED ON THE SEGMENTS AND ALL COMPLETED CASTING.
LAST SPRING FOR THE NORTH AND SOUTH APPROACHES.
WE ARE DELIVERING APPROACH SEGMENTS ON A DAILY BASIS.
COMING DOWN TECH TO COME DOWN TO LEOPARD FOR AN IT STUDENT SEVEN. BE CAREFUL IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS AS YOU WILL GET STUCK BEHIND THAT CONVOY SO FAR, YOU TRANSPORTED EFFICIENTLY SAY. 1453 SEGMENTS.
TO THE SOUTH APPROACH. WE HAVE CAST OUT ABOUT 2900 SEGMENTS. 2650, BUT I THINK IT'S ACTUALLY 2050. WE HAVE CAST AT 2203 SEGMENTS.
LAST SUMMER, AFTER THE EVALUATION FROM THE EOR THE MAIN SPAN WAS SUBMITTED, ARE PRECAST RESUMES.
CONSTRUCTING THE MAIN SEGMENTS TO THE MAIN SPAN SEGMENTS WAY ABOUT 120 TONS. 14 FEET TALL VERSUS THE APPROACH SEGMENTS THAT ARE TWO FEET TALL.
BOTH MAIN SPAN AND APPROACH SEGMENTS ARE 58 FEET WIDE AND 69 FEET WIDE DEPENDING ON IF IT'S THIS SHARED USE PATHS I PICKED WANT TO GO BACK TO THE SIDE ROPING AT THE INTERCHANGE ALSO. BECAUSE YOU CAN REALLY SEE ONE MORE THING. YOU CAN REALLY SEE HOW SHARED USE PATH COMES TOGETHER AND HOW THERE IS A NORTH DESTINATION SOUTH APPROACH ABUTMENT THAT LEADS TO WHERE THE SEGMENTS ARE CAST. OR TO WHERE THEY ARE PLACED.
AND WE WILL GET TO THAT IN A FEW MINUTES HERE.ACK TO WHERE WE WERE. SORRY.
PRECAST YARD. ALL THE FOCUS RIGHT NOW IS ON CASTING THE DELTA FRAMES AND THE MAIN SPAN SEGMENTS.
THEY ARE ALREADY GONNA START DELIVERING MAIN SPAN SEGMENTS AND BELIEVE THE FIRST DELIVERY WILL COME DOWN 37 DOWN LEOPARD PORT AVENUE.
OR THE FIRST DELIVERY OF SOUTH PILAND MAIN SPAN SEGMENTS AND ALSO DOWN TO THE DULL FULTON COURT ORDER TO PILAND MAIN SPAN SEGMENTS.EXT SLIDE PLEASE?ACK IN THE NORTH SIDE, NORTH APPROACH CONSTRUCTION JUST AS YOU CAN SEE HERE THAT WE COMPLETED ALL THE SEGMENT CORRECTION USING THE LAUNCH ENTRY CRANE.HESE LAST REMAINING SIX SKEINS WILL BE ERECTED USING A FALSE WORK CORRECTION METHOD MEANT WHICH ALSO YOU AND ANOTHER SLIDE HERE.
OU COULD HIT THE LOWER RIGHT THAT WE'VE ABOUT 150 CONCRETE PILE STAGED THOSE PILES ARE ABOUT 125 FEET LONG AND TWO FEET BY TWO FEET SOLID CONCRETE AND THOSE WILL CONCRETE THE FOUNDATIONS FOR THE LAST EIGHT PEERS AND THE ABUTMENT WALL.
THAT WILL LEAD UP TO BE APPROACH.
ALSO WE HAVE DEMOLITION UNDERWAY NORTH BEACH AS WELL.
WITH THE BRIDGE AND MAKE WAY FOR THIS RECONSTRUCTED IN 181 MAIN LANES. CLICK HERE GET INTO THE DISPATCH AREA. SOUTH APPROACH CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS. WE CAN ONLY SEE HERE.
THIS PROJECT HAS THE TOTAL BRIDGES.
DOING RECONSTRUCTED. SEVEN THOSE BRIDGES ARE SEEN IN THIS PHOTO. AGAIN, THIS PHOTO WAS FROM TWO WEEKS AGO. 10 LANES CONVERGING RIGHT TO LEFT. YOU CAN SEE THE SHARE USE PATH.
SEMICIRCLE TRAIL THAT LEADS UP TO THE RAMP.
MERGING RAMBLINGS. AND YOU HAVE THE SIX WINGSPAN LANES THAT WILL MAKE UP THE ACTUAL MAINLINE CONSTRUCTION.
AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THAT NORTHWEST LOOP RAMP THAT WE SAW LAST FALL, DUE TO THE TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF DEMOLITION UNDERWAY. DAY AND NIGHT.
I WANT TO POINT THIS OUT IN THE FLAT CHANNEL WHICH IS ON THE SOUTH APPROACH. THE UNDERGROUND UTILITY WORK AND UTILITIES IS A HUGE PART OF THIS PACKAGE IN THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING. THE CHANNEL ITSELF HAS BEEN TRIPLED IN SIZE. THE FINAL CLIENT WILL COME IN AROUND THE LEOPARD AREA. WE CANNOT COMPLETE THE FINAL TIE-IN UNTIL WE COMPLETE THE INTERCHANGE CONSTRUCTION.
UNFORTUNATELY RIGHT NOW, THAT THIS CAUSED DRAINAGE ISSUES.
WHEN WE HAVE HEAVY RAINS ADMITTED TO EMERGENCY CLOSURES.
HAT IS NOT A FINAL DRAINAGE PACKAGE.
AND THAT SHOULD BE LIMITED ONCE WE ARE ABLE TO TIE IN THE
DRAINAGE PACKAGE. >> THE NEXT SLIDE.
[01:50:02]
IT'S WANT TO MAKE SURE I GOT EVERYTHING THERE.>> ALSO BACK TO THAT SIDE, I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT BACK TO YOU UTILITIES. WE HAVE 21 HI MASS LIGHTS THAT WE HAVE INSTALLED OR ARE INSTALLING WHY.
I BELIEVE SEVEN ON WITH BEACH AND 14 ON THE SOUTH SIDE.
AND THOSE ARE THE 200 HYPHAE LIGHTS THAT ARE PROVIDING ABUNDANT LIGHTING AT NIGHT AND MORE WILL COME ONLINE SOON.
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE? SO, WHEN WE GET BACK TO THE ENTRY CRANE ON THE SOUTH APPROACH.
THIS PHOTO IS SIGNIFICANT IN THAT THERE IS A SECOND TIME THE PIT BACK WORKING OVER THE RAILROAD TRACKS.
WHICH TAKES TREMENDOUS COORDINATION THE REGULATORY CHECKS THE BOXES. YOU CAN SEE IN THE BOTTOM LEFT THAT THERE IS A SPOTTER VEHICLE THAT IS DOWN THERE 24 SEVEN.
WE HAVE A SPOTTER VEHICLE OUT THERE DOES DISAGREEMENT TRAIN COMING. ENTRY CRANE IS MAKING TREMENDOUS PROGRESS BE THERE ADVANCING UP TOWARDS PORT AVENUE AND AT THE THAT TIME, WHICH WILL BE AFTER BASEBALL SEASON, WORKING AT THE CLOSE PORT AVENUE.
NEAR THE COMMAND CENTER. THERE WILL BE TRAFFIC THROUGHOUT. AS FOR THE CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS, WE CANNOT DO ANY OVERHEAD WORK WITH LIVE TRAFFIC UNDERNEATH. AND IN THE LOWER CORNER, USED TO ERECT 13 SPENDS ON THE SOUTH APPROACH.
HOSE SPANS ARE INTRICATE AND UNIQUE AND THAT THE ENTRY CRANE IS TOO LONG TO ACCOMMODATE THIS EXPENSE.
THE SAME TYPE OF ERECTION METHODS WILL BE USED TO REVITALIZE THE REMAINING SPANS ON THE NORTH BEACH.
GO BACK TO THAT FOR A MINUTE PLEASE.
ONE POINT OUT THE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS.
WE COMPLETED ON THE SOUTH APPROACH ALL THE LOWER CALL IN LISTS. WHICH ARE 274: LISTS WHICH ARE COMPLETED WHICH COMPLETES THOSE PEERS AS PART OF THE STRUCTURE, WHICH SUPPORT THE SUPERSTRUCTURE ON THE BRIDGE DECK.
HE LAST COUPLE OF COLUMNS THAT WE HAVE RIGHT THERE ARE ON THE CHANNEL PRINT WHICH IS THE BACK SPAN HAMPERED WHICH IS PART OF THE CABLE STATE BRIDGE. ALL THE PEER CAPS ARE NOT COMPLETED. IT'S ALL SUPERSTRUCTURE WORK AT THIS POINT. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE? JUST A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO THE DESIGN TEAM THAT WAS BROUGHT IN IN 2020 TO DO A REEVALUATION OF THE MAIN SPAN DESIGN. I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE ENGINEERING GROUP IS STILL INVOLVED IN THE PROJECT FROM ROADWORKS AND APPROACH PACKAGES IN THE SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAM, I LOVE TO BRAG ABOUT THAT, BUT THAT'S A WHOLE ANOTHER COUPLE OF SLIDES PAID THE INVEST PROGRAM WE WANT A BIG PLATINUM LEVEL AWARD ON THE SUSTAINABILITY OF THE PROJECT FROM RECYCLED MATERIALS TO COMMUNITY OUTREACH.
AND I COULD GO ON WITH THAT LIST.
THIS TO POINT OUT THAT FC DESIGN TEAM COLLECTIVELY, THEY HAVE DONE 50 CABLE STATE BRIDGES.
THEY HAVE MORE THAN 60 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.
33 COUNTRIES. THEY CAME IN AND DID JUST ABOUT A YEAR TO TOTALLY REEVALUATE THE MAIN SPAN DESIGN.
THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES MADE.
THAT WOULD BE THE VISUAL TUNING TRAINED EYE.ORE PROPRIETARY TECHNICAL CHANGES. THERE WAS NO FINDINGS OF ANY FAULTS WITH THE EXISTING DESIGN.
EVERYTHING HAS BEEN RECERTIFIED.
TRIPLE CHECKED BY THIRD-PARTY THIRD-PARTY OUTFITS AND ALL ACCORDANCE WITH THE AUSTIN TEXAS FRIDGE DIVISION AND SPECIFICATIONS. ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT, YOU COULD SEE A JOINT VENTURE THE ERA OF CFC COMPLETED IN IRELAND IN 2020. WHICH IS THE LONGEST CONCRETE BRIDGE IN THE WORLD. THE TOP, YOU CAN SEE A CFC BRIDGE THE CFC TEAM IS INVOLVED ON THE TECHNICAL SIDE OF THE BRIDGE AND THE OTHER TEAM IS MORE INVOLVED ON THE STRUCTURE SIDE. THE CFC BRIDGE ON THE TOP LEFT, YOU COULD SEE A DOUBLE CABLE BRIDGE.
OURS, AS YOU KNOW WILL BE A SINGLE CABLE BRIDGE.
THE NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. I'M SURE YOU'VE ALL SEEN THE PICTURE ON THE TOP RIGHT ON HOW THE EXISTING HARBOR BRIDGE FITS UNDER THE MAIN SPAN DESIGN AND HOW THIS BRIDGE COMPLETED IN CALIFORNIA IS SIGNIFICANT BY THE ARAB GROUP THAT WAS OPENED IN CALIFORNIA. IN 2020.
IT REALLY SHOWS THE PROJECT THERE.
THEY DID THAT WITH THE STATE BRIDGE AS WELL.
EXT SLIDE PLEASE? WANT TO GET INTO THIS PYLON CONSTRUCTION. IT'S REALLY EXCITING TO SEE HOW THE PROCESS IS UNFOLDING. I HAVE ENJOYED SEVERAL CLIMBS UP THE SCAFFOLDING. WE'RE GETTING READY TO INSTALL
[01:55:01]
AND ELEVATOR AND A CONSTRUCTION ELEVATOR ON THE TOWER CRANE.CLIMBING UP THE TOWER. IN THE MIDDLE, YOU COULD SEE WITH THE YELLOW, HOW THE TOWER TABLE DECK COMES TOGETHER IN MARCH. WE COMPLETED DIRECTING THE TOWER TABLE ON BOTH THE NORTH AND SOUTH PYLON.
THEY ARE REALLY PROGRESSING ALMOST THE SAME RATE.
THAT TOWER TABLE DECK CREATES THE START OF OUR MAIN LANES.
SO, YOU COULD SEE THEY ARE SUPPORTED BY THIS BLUE CONCRETE STRESS. SO, ON EACH TOWER OR PYLON AS WE CALL THEM, THERE ARE 12 SEGMENTS AND ÃÃTHE TABLE.
SIX ON EACH SIDE. ON THE NEXT SLIDE.
WE DID IN MARCH COMPLETE THREE POOR PYLON AND UPPER LEFT TO POUR ON THE NORTH PYLON AND SOUTH PYLON.
HE COULD SEE DRIVING OVER THE BRIDGE, WE HAVE NOT COMPLETED BASICALLY THE SUBSTRUCTURE OF THE PYLONS AND NOW WE'RE GETTING INTO THE SUPERSTRUCTURE OF ERECTION.
QUERY ÃÃI REALLY THINK THIS SLIDE WILL TELL YOU A LOT ABOUT WHAT YOU START SEEING THIS SUMMER.
WE'RE GOING TO START LIFTING MAIN SPAN SEGMENTS.
WE THINK IN ME. THAT IS OUR PLAN.
THIS IS REALLY EXCITING. YOU SEE THAT WITH THE TOWER CRANE IN THE PREVIOUS SLIDE. HOSE TOWER CRANES ÃDOES THE DERRICK CRANE WILL BE USED TO LIFT THE CRAWLER CRANE UP ONTO THE PLATFORMS. AS SOON AS WE HAVE SIX SEGMENTS IN BOTH LANES ERECTED ON EACH SIDE.
BY A LEVER METHOD. LIFTING UP THOSE DEAR CRANES.
THERE CRANES LIFTED ON BOTH TOWERS AT THE SAME TIME.
WITH THOSE SEGMENTS STARTING AS SOON AS ME.
YOU CAN REALLY SEE THE PROGRESSION AND HOW IT WILL TAKE PLACE.TARTING WITH THE EIGHT CABLE.
WE WILL START TYING INTO THE DELTA CRANE.
EVERY CABLE WILL TIE INTO THE DELTA CRANE.
EVERY DELTA FRAME WILL HAVE FOUR SEGMENTS AND ANOTHER DELTA FRAME. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE? I WANT TO KIND OF WRAP UP MY PRESENTATION.
I KNOW YOU'VE SEEN THE SLIDES ON THE LIGHTING IN THE PAST.
I WANT TO REMIND EVERYBODY OF THE PHENOMENAL LIGHTING FEATURES THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE WITH THIS BRIDGE.
THE LIGHTING FEATURE, THE RGB Ã ÃLED LIGHTING WILL BE SHINING UP TO THE DELTA FRAMES UNDERNEATH AND THROUGH THE TOWERS AND THERE WILL BE KIND OF IN THE TOP RIGHT, YOU CAN SEE THE LIGHTING TUBES THAT WOULD BE PLACED IN THE UPPER LEFT. THE UPPER TOWERS THAT WILL CREATE SORT OF A DANCING EFFECT.
DEPENDING ON THE SEASON OR THE HOLIDAY.
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE? REALLY THAT WRAPS MY PRESENTATION. I COULD HAVE EASILY PUT TOGETHER 35 SLIDES FOR YOU AND COVERED SO MUCH MORE FOR YOU AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURE OF THE PROJECT.
WE HAVE TWO WETLANDS THAT ARE PROTECTED.
WETLAND SEVEN IS NEAR THE RAILROAD TRACK THAT I SHOWED YOU AND ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE PROJECT AND THEN THE WETLAND ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE PROJECT THAT WAS IN MITIGATION. GOING ON AND ON ABOUT THE UTILITIES IN THE DRAINAGE. WITH THAT, I AM HAPPY TO TAKE
YOUR QUESTIONS. >> YOU ARE RIGHT.
T'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO EVER HAVE A FULL UPDATE. NOW IT'S JUST A TERRIFIC ONE.
IT DOESN'T GET BETTER THAN THAT TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.
THE ONLY THING I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS MAKE SURE WE GET A FULL COPY OF IT. SO WE CAN DISTRIBUTE IT.
TO ANY ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE ARE A PART OF OR EVEN OUR OWN IF IT'S ALLOWED. OR TAKE CERTAIN SLIDES OR
DISCUSS IT ON OUR OWN. >> GOOD JOB.
>> AND HAPPY TO WORK WITH BELINDA.
HOWEVER ÃDESPERATE. >> THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE AND IT'S REALLY MORE OF A COMMENT IS WHEN WE WERE LEAVING THE AQUARIUM, AND THIS MIGHT BE MORE OF A TEXT OUGHT THIS TEST IS IN A MEETING IN AUSTIN.
I WILL CATCH UP WITH HIM NEXT WEEK.HEN YOU ARE COMING FROM THE AQUARIUM ÃDISTRICT TO GET BACK DISTANCE BOY, IT REALLY
AND I KNOW ONE GOING. >> ME TOO.
>> HE FELT BADLY FOR SOME NEW PEOPLE THAT I WATCH.
AND I GET THAT IT'S FRUSTRATING FOR THE GAS IT COMMITS UP THE FINAL CONFIGURATION. THERE'S ACTUALLY TWO WAYS TO GET ON THE BRIDGE COMING FROM THE AQUARIUM OR THE LEXINGTON OR THOSE ATTRACTIONS. YOU CAN COME DOWN REPORTER, WHICH IS RIGHT UP AND RUNNING ALONGSIDE THE SHIP CHANNEL.
YOU CAN GO FURTHER DOWN TO BEECH AVENUE AND THEN GO UNDER
180 WANT TO GET BACK ON. >> I UNDERSTAND THE CONFUSION.
>> WE THINK ABOUT SIGNAGE? >> 20 SIGNS WORKING WITH THE CITY ENGINEER IS IN THE STREETS DEPARTMENT.
IT NEVER SEEMS TO BE ENOUGH. I UNDERSTAND IT'S CONFUSING.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE THE SACRED WE ARE CONSTANTLY LOOKING AT THAT. WE HAVE ADDED RUMBLE STRIPS FOR THAT TO WAY ROAD. AND REGULAR OUTREACH WITH THE NORTH BEACH COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION.
I'M SURE YOU ALL KNOW MRS. MYERS POINT SHE'S VERY VOCAL.
[02:00:03]
AND A GREAT SPOKESPERSON FOR THE COMMUNITY.AND ATTRACTIONS. I APPRECIATE THAT.
I KNOW I'M STATING THE OBVIOUS. BUT I THINK JUST THE SIGNAGE COULD BE AND REALLY CHANGE. LIKE I SAID, WE LIVE HERE.E KNOW IT. BUT IF YOU ARE A TOURIST COMING TO THE AQUARIUM, A NUMBER ON SUMMER OF DIRECTION.
I AM SO CONCERNED THAT IN THE EVENING HOURS, PARTICULARLY IF YOU ARE COMING. IT'S JUST SO HARD.
ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO IMPROVE YOU KNOW, EVEN AS YOU LEAVE THE AQUARIUM MAY BE. SAYING THIS IS YOUR ROUTE.
QRS CODE GPS AND ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP ÃÃIT'S JUST IN FACT, YOU GPS WILL TELL YOU TO GO TO THE JOE FULTON
WE HAVE REGULAR MEETINGS BUT WE WERE WEEKLY MOT MEETING AND I FEEL LIKE A KIND OF BEAT MY HEAD ON THE MEETING WITH THAT TEAM AND WE ARE ALL CONSTANTLY EVALUATING WHAT CAN BE IMPROVED. GET FREQUENT CALLS ON WHY HAVEN'T APPLE MAPS UPDATED? HY HASN'T UPDATED? WHY HASN'T OUR GPS UPDATED? THIS ALL USER UPDATED.
I DON'T HAVE A DIRECT LINE TO CALL A TECHNICIAN AT APPLE OR WAYS. SOME OF THEM ARE USER UPDATED BUT GOOGLE HAS THEIR VEHICLES THAT THE DRY THE CITY STREETS OCCASIONALLY. WE SEE THEM WITH ALL THE VIDEO CAMERAS AGAIN. AGAIN, NOT A DIRECT RESOURCE TO
CONTACT GOOGLE. >> INTERESTING.
>> WE LOOKED INTO THAT EXTENSIVELY.
>> UNDERSTOOD. UNDERSTANDING TODAY'S ISSUE IS HELPFUL. EVERYTHING YOU CAN DO TO BOTH.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMISSION MARS?
>> I APPRECIATE THIS UPDATE. IT'S BEEN A WHILE.
AND VERY HELPFUL. THE ONE ISSUE THAT I HAVE THAT WE'VE KIND OF TALKED ABOUT PREVIOUSLY RECOVERED FOR SURE.
OU KNOW, THE PRECAST YARD. THAT IS IN ROB'S TOWN.
PRECINCT 3. A BIG PART OF THAT BRIDGE.
BUT THAT AREA AS YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF STRANGE AND HOW THE POLITICAL BOUNDARIES ARE. SO, THERE IS COUNTY RESPONSIBILITY ON COUNTY ROAD 36.
AND IT SWITCHES RIGHT OVER TO THE CITY OF ROCKS TOWN FOR A STRETCH. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME PROBLEMS, BECAUSE THE SIZE AND SCOPE OF PRECAST PIECES AND OF COURSE THE EQUIPMENT IT TAKES TO TRANSPORT THEM.
THOSE ROADS WE WERE ALREADY HAVING ISSUES WITH AND HAVE TO REPLACE A BRIDGE THAT WAS THERE.
BUT, WITH THAT HEAVY MACHINERY, IT'S REALLY KIND OF WORN DOWN AND SO, IF THAT CAN BECOME PART OF THE WEEKLY DISCUSSIONS OR UPDATES FOR SOMEHOW WITH THE JUDGE, GET TO A POINT TO BE A POINT PERSON.
RE THEY ON GETTING THEIR VOICE THERE? AS FAR AS WHAT WILL BE THE FINAL DISTANCE THE FINAL PIECE SOON SPEAK ONCE THE PRECAST UNIT IS COMPLETE.
WHAT CAN BE DONE TO REALLY FIX UP THAT AREA? LIKE YOU SAID, IT IS SO STRANGE WHEN RESPONSIBILITY IS OURS IMPORTANT IS THE CITY AND THERE IS JUST A LOT OF WORK WE WOULD LIKE TO DO. BUT KIND OF CUT SHORTBREAD THOSE LINES. BUT I THINK Y'ALL ARE REALLY THE GO-BETWEEN THAT CAN HELP KIND OF HELPLESS SMOOTH IT OUT.
I MEAN THAT FIGURATIVELY AND LITERALLY.
IF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE LOOKED AT THE FUTURE.
AND A GIBSON AT 2024. BUT, IF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT CAN START BECOMING PART OF DISCUSSION.
SO THAT WHEN EVERYBODY'S DONE THE FINAL PIECES IN PLACE, AND EVERYBODY CELEBRATING THIS NEW AND BEAUTIFUL BRIDGE.
THAT OUR RESIDENTS HAVE REALLY GOTTEN THE BURDEN OF THIS CONSTRUCTION BEING BUILT RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM.
CAN HAVE A NICE ROPE YOU KNOW? THAT TRANSFERS FROM CITY ROB STANTON COUNTY ROAD. KATHY PRECINCT 3 OLD COUNTY ROAD 36. THAT COULD MAYBE START BECOMING SOME SORT OF CONVERSATION PIECE.
GOT TWO YEARS, BUT IT'LL BE HERE BEFORE YOU KNOW IT.
AND I THINK THAT WOULD GO A LONG WAY INTO SAYING THANK YOU.
TO THOSE RESIDENTS. WE REALLY NEED IT.
>> I AGREE. I WAS GOING TO SAY.
>> EMAILS AS WELL ÃÃSO PEOPLE EXPLAIN, WHAT WE COULD DO, WE CAN PROVIDE YOU ÃÃWE ACTUALLY WENT DOOR TO DOOR ON THE CIVIL SERVICE SURVEY. AND OTHER THAN DRAINAGE, THAT ROAD WAS OUR TOP THREE ISSUE IN THOSE AREAS.
AND OF COURSE THE HEAVY HAUL HAS HIGHLY CONTRIBUTED TO IT.
WE WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO FIX IT.
IT WOULD DO NO GOOD AT THIS POINT.T WOULD JUST
RESURFACE. >> DISPATCHES AND I CAN DO ANY
[02:05:01]
GOOD. >> I UNDERSTAND THAT I RECEIVED IMMEDIATE WITH CALLS ON THIS. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE A FEW VOCAL RESIDENTS THERE. PERSONALLY I GOT TO THE PRECAST YARD A COUPLE TIMES A MONTH. AND EXACTLY WHAT THE CONDITIONS ARE. WE DID CONTRIBUTE ABOUT $90,000 WORTH OF MATERIALS AND MANPOWER TO REBUILD THE COUNTY ROAD.
36 BRIDGE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.
THOSE IN THE SPRING OF 2020. HOWEVER, WE LOOKED AT THIS AND TALK ABOUT IT. LIKE YOU SAID, A HOT PATCH OR COLD PATCH. ONE DAY I WAS OUT THERE AS WELL FALLEN FROM A MEDIA REQUEST IN THE CITY ROB STAND WAS OUT THERE DOING THE COLD PATCH. WE ADDED TO THAT AS WELL.
>> IT'S LIKE AN ESTATE. I APPRECIATE YOU KNOW, COORDINATION AND POSSIBLY LOOKING AT THIS AFTER WE FINISH THAT. CONSTRUCTION AND HEAVY HAULING OUT THERE. IT IS ALSO THE MARIOTTI YARD THAT CONTRIBUTES TO SIGNIFICANT FARM EQUIPMENT.
AND CREAM BACKYARD OUT THERE. CATTY CORNER THE BRIDGE.
SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC THERE AS WELL.
I'M NOT TRYING TO PUNT, BUT IS A COLLABORATION.
>> I THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE ADVOCATING FOR.
>> THAT BRIDGE IS A PARTNERSHIP.
YOU ARE RIGHT. >> YOU HAVE ALL BEEN PART OF THAT. YOU ARE IN THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT HERE. ROASTED.
WE ALL CAME TOGETHER WITH FUNDING FOR DIFFERENT RESOURCES TO KIND OF MAKE THAT HAPPEN. AND I AGREE.
IT'S NOT JUST YOU. SINCE WE ARE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE THIS HERE. I THINK IT'S GONNA TAKE THE SAME APPROACH. AND AS LONG AS WE CAN START TALKING NOW AND PLAN AND BRING ALL THE GROUPS AND STAKEHOLDERS TOGETHER. AS FAR AS INDUSTRY AND THE GOVERNMENTAL INDUSTRIES ALONG WITH THE RESIDENTS TO SAY HEY, NINA IT DOESN'T DO US MUCH GOOD RIGHT NOW.
BUT, ONCE IT'S DONE, YOU CAN BE LEFT WITH SOMETHING BETTER THAN WHAT ACTUALLY WHAT THEY HAD BEFORE THIS ALL STARTED.
>> I WILL CERTAINLY KEEP THAT AS A PRIORITY AND OUR CONVERSATIONS. AND TAKE THE CONCERN BACK.
>> AND IF IT'S HELPFUL, MAYBE WE COULD DO, BECAUSE I KNOW TOEFL. AN OFFICIAL LETTER.
LET US SEND YOU AN OFFICIAL LETTER THANKING YOU FOR THIS PRESENTATION AND ASKING SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS FOLLOW-UP. THAT WAY GIVES YOU MUCH MORE THAN THEIR CONCERN. THEY'RE ACTUALLY ASKING FOR THAT MEETING AND THAT WILL HELP ALL OF US IN THE COLLABORATION.
WE ACTUALLY HAVE PRECEDENT FOR THIS.ARIS ALSO WORKED WITH PRIVATE INDUSTRY GOVERNMENT. ON ANOTHER ROAD NOT TOO FAR FROM THERE.R EPIC ROAD. SO, I KNOW IT CAN BE DONE.
WITH COMMISSION MARS SAYS IS DONE.
IF WE WERE TO PLAY NOW, THE WAYFINDING SIGNS COULD BE SUMMER OF X 2024. THIS ROAD WILL BE REESTABLISHED OR RESURFACED, RIGHT? IT CERTAINLY TAKES TIME.
SO, I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA. >> ANY BIT OF AMMUNITION FROM A

I'M LISA PAUL CALLED AND I AM CURRENTLY SERVING AS THE CHAIRPERSON OF THE ANIMAL SERVICES ADVISORY BOARD.
AND I JUST WANT TO SAY GOOD MORNING TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU. JUDGMENT COMMISSIONERS.
I'M HERE TODAY ON BEHALF OF THE ANIMAL SERVICE ADVISORY BOARD.
AND WE WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY.
TO SHARE OUR RECOMMENDATION TO THIS COURT.
WITH REGARD TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF A PROPOSED NEW ANIMAL SERVICES FACILITY. THIS COURT REALLY AND TRULY HAS SO MUCH TO BE PROUD OF AND I CANNOT EMPHASIZE THAT THANK YOU ALL ENOUGH. THIS PARTICULAR PORT HAS HAD AN INCREDIBLE VISION. IN THE COMMITMENT TO ANIMAL WELFARE AND TO THE COMMITTEE'S OBLIGATIONS.
TO ITS CITIZENS IN TERMS OF ANIMAL WELFARE AND HUMANE TREATMENT OF ANIMALS. THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY.
>> WHEN I STARTED VOLUNTEERING IN 2015 SEVEN YEARS AGO THIS COUNTY FORMALLY UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF THE CITY COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT. GIVE ME.
THAT COUNTY. ANIMAL CONTROL FORMALLY UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF THE CITY COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
HAD PREVIOUSLY OVERSEEN THE SENSELESS AND I NEED SENSELESS KILLING OF 98 PERCENT OF ALL ANIMALS THIS FACILITY IMPOUNDED.HAT EQUITY TO AN AVERAGE OF NINE 1200 ANIMALS PER YEAR. MOST OF WHICH WERE ALL HEALTHY AND ADOPTABLE. THEY SIMPLY GOT THE CHANCE.
THANKFULLY AND TO ITS CREDIT, THIS COMMISSIONERS COURT ALONG WITH THE DEPARTMENT AND ITS LEADERSHIP UNDER THE DIRECTION OF WONDER RAMIREZ, BECAME THE CATALYST FOR CHANGE.
RECOGNIZING THAT IT'S THE MISSION OF ANIMAL SHELTERS ACROSS THE STATE AND THE NATION AND RIGHT HERE IN OUR OWN BACKYARD THROUGHOUT THE COASTAL BEND, WAS CHANGING THE ENTIRE SCOPE THE COUNTY'S OPERATION NEEDED TO CHANGE AS WELL.
YOU'LL HAVE A LOT TO BE PROUD OF IN THAT REGARD.
TOWARD THAT END IN DECEMBER 2021 THIS COURT TOOK A MONUMENTAL LEAP FORWARD. WITH THE RENAMING OF ANIMAL CONTROL TO ANIMAL SERVICES. CARE.
AND RAISED THE BAR WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE COUNTY ORDER ALTERING THE SCOPE AND MISSION OF THE DEPARTMENT FROM ONE WHOSE FOCUS HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN UNCONTROLLED AND INDEPENDENT.
TO ONE THAT IS NOT MUCH MORE FOCUSED ON HUMANE TREATMENT AND
BY RELEASE. >> I AGAIN WANT TO SAY KUDOS TO THIS COMMISSIONERS COURT. AND TO THE ANIMAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT. UNDER THE DIRECTOR OF RON
RAMIREZ. >> SHELTERING ANIMALS WITH THIS NEWLY DEFINED PURPOSE OF HAVING THEM LEAVE THE SHELTER ALIVE REQUIRES A LOT MORE ATTENTION. WO THINGS LIKE RESCUE AND ADOPTION AND COORDINATION. DISEASE CONTROL.
COMMUNITY SERVICES AND EDUCATION.
AND ACCESSIBILITY. THE NEXT PORTION ON THE OUTLINE
[02:15:04]
I HAD HANDED YOU. DISCUSSES THE EXISTING FACILITY. AND I WANT TO APOLOGIZE TO THIS COURT BECAUSE I'M GOING TO TELL YOU THINGS THAT YOU ALREADY KNOW AND CAN USE THIS OPPORTUNITY SO THAT THE PUBLIC CAN ALSO LEARN IN THE EVENT THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW THESETHINGS. >> YOUR NEEDS ASSESSMENT STUDY, WHICH WAS COMMISSIONED BY THIS COURT 2020 DETERMINED THAT THE COUNTY'S CURRENT NEEDS EXCEEDED THE DESIGN AND CAPACITY OF THE EXISTING SHELTER. PLUS THE SPACE WAS ALSO INSUFFICIENT TO ACCOMMODATE ANY PROJECTED POPULATION GROWTH.
THE EXISTING SHELTERS PANEL SIZE IS INADEQUATE WITH ANIMALS OFTEN HAVING TO BE HOUSED TOGETHER IN SMALL SPACES.
SEPARATE QUARANTINE AREAS, WHICH DON'T EVEN PRESENTLY EXIST ARE A NECESSITY FOR NOT ONLY DISEASE CONTROL, BUT ALSO OBSERVATION.
HE EXISTING FACILITY LACKS MEDICAL AND SURGICAL ROOM.
AND AS A RESULT HAS THE INABILITY TO OFFER ANY TYPE OF LOW-COST VETERINARIAN SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY.
WE CURRENTLY HAVE A LICENSED VETERINARIAN ON OUR BOARD.
DOCTOR BARBER WHITLOCK IN HER NOTE STATES QUOTE THE CURRENT SHELTER DOES NOT HAVE ADEQUATE CLIMATE CONTROL FOR EITHER THE DOGS OR CATS BEING HELD THERE. THE ROOM HAS NO AIR CONDITIONING OR HEATING. THE ONLY VENTILATION IS THROUGH THE TWO SMALL WINDOWS PER THE DOG RUNS HAVE NO HEATING AND EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER. OTHER THAN THE GASOLINE OR BUTANE POWERED HEATER. AND ALL THE DOORS ARE OPENED TO VENT THE FUMES, CARBON MONOXIDE IS A CONCERN.
BOTH PRETTY ANIMALS AND PEOPLE WORKING THERE.
THE SHELTER DOES NOT HAVE AN ISOLATION AREA FOR EITHER DOGS OR CATS. THAT MIGHT BE INFECTIOUS.
THERE IS NO EXAMINATION ROOM OTHER THAN THE ONE USED FOR EUTHANASIA. THERE IS NO ADEQUATE LARGE DIVIDED SINK TO EVEN PROPERLY DISINFECT FOOD DISHES.
THERE ARE NO WASHERS AND DRYERS FOR LAUNDRY PURPOSES.
THERE ARE NO SEPARATE QUITE KENNELS GOOD WILL FOR MOMS WITH UNWOUNDED PUPPIES. THERE ARE CERTAINLY THE ROOMS SUITABLE FOR PERFORMING. EVEN MINOR SURGERY.UCH LESS SPACE OR KNITTERS. ". THE CURRENT ANIMAL SHELTER WAS CONSTRUCTED MANY YEARS AGO. TO BE NOTHING MORE THAN A HOLDING FACILITY FOR STRAYS. IT'S LOCATION IS REMOTE AND OBSCURE. IN RELATIVELY AND ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC. TO VISIT THE SHELTER, ONE MUST ADVOCATE TO THE PUBLIC WORKS YARD DODGING 18 WHEELERS, FUEL PUMPS, STORAGE BUILDINGS, AND OTHER HEAVY EQUIPMENT.
AS THE COUNTY'S FIRST INDOOR SHELTER, IT WAS DESIGNED SIMPLY TO BE A DOG POUND WITH NO FORESIGHT INTO MEETING THE NEEDS OF A GROWING AREA LET ALONE MEETING TODAY'S BEST PRACTICES STANDARDS IN SHELTER MANAGEMENT.S A RESULT OF THE FINDINGS OF THIS STUDY, COUNTY LEADERS, YOURSELVES, SELECTED THE SITE KNOWN AS THE OLD SHOW BOND AS A POTENTIAL CONSIDERATION FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW SHELTER.
THIS LOCATION WOULD PROVIDE HIGH VISIBILITY, ACCESSIBILITY, SUITABILITY, AND PLENTY OF PARKING.
IT WOULD FURTHER SERVE TO IMPROVE THE BUSINESS CORRIDOR AND ENCOURAGE COMMUNITIES SUCH AS THE CITY OF ROB'S TOWN AND THE CITY OF BISHOP TO CONSIDER CONTRACTUAL SERVICE AGREEMENTS WITH THE COUNTY IN THE FUTURE. TOWARD THIS END ÃDISH SHELTER PLAYERS OF AMERICA THIS IS THE NATION'S LEADING ANIMAL SHELTER SPECIALIST NEEDS FOR ASSESSMENT STUDIES AND CONCEPTUAL DESIGN IN FULL ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING SERVICES CONDUCTED EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THE COUNTY'S BEHEST.
AND HAS OUTLINED THE NECESSARY SIZE, SCOPE, SCALE, APPROXIMATE BUDGET AND LAYOUT FOR THE ANIMAL SHELTER.
ALL IN KEEPING WITH YOUR VISION AND PROJECTED GROWTH.
THE PROCESS HAS BEEN PROCESSED AND FOCUSED ON NEEDS VERSUS WANTS. SHELTER PLANNERS OF AMERICA IS EVEN PROVIDED A VARIETY OF COST OPTIONS TO AID THE COUNTY AND IDENTIFYING BUDGET NEEDS AND FUNDING SOURCES.
THIS PROJECTED NEEDS FOR YEARS TO COME.
ADDITIONALLY, CONSTRUCTION WOULD BRING NEW JOBS TO THE COMMUNITY. AND SIGNAL TO POTENTIAL INVESTORS THAT THE DEALMAKING FOR INFRASTRUCTURE AND GROWING IN A POSITIVE WAY. THE NEW SHELTER WOULD IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR BOTH PEOPLE AND PETS IN THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY. NEW SHELTER WOULD HAVE A BASIC SURGICAL FACILITY WITH THE ABILITY TO HOST MEDICAL CLINICS TO PROVIDE BADLY NEEDED VACCINATION AND SPAYED AND NEUTERED SERVICES FOR THE UNDERSERVED SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES WITHIN NUECES COUNTY.
PROVIDING THESE MEDICAL SERVICES, HELPS STOP THE SPREAD OF ZOONOTIC DISEASE AND IMPROVES PUBLIC HEALTH.
THIS WOULD ALSO HELP MAJOR PROGRESS IN REDUCING THE PET

OVERPOPULATION PROBLEM IN THIS AREA.WORLD RESIDENTS SHOULD NOT BE DENIED ACCESS TO THESE KINDS OF SERVICES. THE NEW FACILITY WILL ALSO OFFER PROPER VENTILATION AND AIR EXCHANGE.
AND ENHANCED HEATING VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS. TIME CONTROLS.
BETTER SEPARATION OF ANIMALS AND FLOW.
COMFORTABLE KENNELS WITH NATURAL LIGHT.EDICAL ISOLATION AND QUARANTINE AREAS. PROPER DRAINAGE.
QUALITY CLEANING AND DISINFECTING EQUIPMENT AND LAUNDRY FACILITIES.ONE OF WHICH EXIST AT THE CURRENT SHELTER. MANY SHELTERS IN TEXAS ALSO HOST CLASSROOM FIELD TRIPS. FOR CHILDREN LEARNING TO PROPERLY CARE FOR THE PETS. PROPOSED SHELTER WOULD ALSO BE PLACE FOR EDUCATIONAL AND AWARENESS OPPORTUNITIES PAY HOPEFULLY ENDING THE CYCLE OF ABUSE, CRUELTY, NEGLECT THAT PLAGUES THIS AREA. THAT IS EVIDENCED BY THE FACT THAT THE EXISTING SHELTER IS FULL ON A CONSTANT AND CONTINUAL BASIS DESPITE THE EFFORTS OF VOLUNTEERS TO CONTINUALLY MOVE THE ANIMALS INTO LIVE RELEASE PLACEMENT.
IN CONCLUSION, IT IS THE ADVISORY BOARD'S UNDERSTANDING THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE FUNDING NEEDED TO CONSTRUCT THIS NEW FACILITY HAS ALREADY BEEN ESTABLISHED IN THE FORM OF CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION. THE COUNTY HAS ARITY SPENT SIGNIFICANT FUNDS ON THE DESIGN AND ENGINEERING PHASE OF THE NEW SHELTER. THIS MONEY WAS APPROVED BY COMMISSIONERS COURT OVER ONE YEAR AGO.
THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT HAS NOT CHANGED SINCE THE FUNDING WAS APPROVED BY THIS COURT AND IN FACT IT'S ONLY GONNA CONTINUE TO GROW AS THE POPULATION INCREASES.
MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE LEAVING THE CITY LIMITS OF NUECES COUNTY. AND OPTING TO MOVE MUCH, MUCH CLOSER TO THE COUNTY LINES IF NOT IN THE COUNTY ALTOGETHER.
BY 2020 SPA NEEDS ASSESSMENT STUDY CONCLUDED THAT THE POPULATION OF THE AREA SERVED BY THE NUECES ANIMAL COUNTY SHELTER IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE BY 51.7 PERCENT OVER THE NEXT 20 YEARS. THAT IS A HUGE NUMBER.
CITIES AND COUNTIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE MOVING TOWARDS THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED ANIMAL SHELTERS.
THAT CAN PROVIDE FRONTLINE MEDICAL VETTING AND ADOPTION SERVICES AND SERVE AS EDUCATION CENTERS FOR THE COMMUNITY.
BUILDING COSTS AND CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS.
LABOR, AND THE EQUIPMENT THAT IS NEEDED IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THESE FUTURE GOALS FOR THIS DEPARTMENT ARE ALL ON THE RISE. FAILING TO APPROVE FUNDING FOR STATE-OF-THE-ART MODERN PROPERLY EQUIPPED ANIMAL SHELTER IS THAT BEING PROPOSED BY SHELTER PLANNERS OF AMERICA.
WOULD FAILED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY.
AS WELL AS THE GOALS OUTLINED IN YOUR OWN COUNTY ORDER.
REVISION AND FORESIGHT ARE CONCERNED ÃÃSCALING BACK ON THIS PROJECT. SHOULD NOT EVEN BE A CONSIDERATION OF THIS COURT. THE ANIMAL SERVICES ADVISORY BOARD HAVING MET UNANIMOUSLY CONCLUDED THAT A NEW ANIMAL SERVICES FACILITY OF THE SIZE AND SCOPE PROPOSED BY SHELTER PLANNERS OF AMERICA IS JUSTIFIED.
IN KEEPING WITH THE COUNTY'S MISSION FOR ANIMAL SERVICES OPERATIONS AS DEFINED IN COUNTY ORDER SIGNED AND APPROVED 12:15 2021. MORE IMPORTANT, THIS NEW FACILITY SHOULD BE EMBRACED BY THIS COURT.
AS A BOLD COMMITMENT TOWARDS ANIMAL WELFARE, HUMANE TREATMENT OF ANIMALS IN THE COUNTY'S CARE AND EXPANDED SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY SUCH AS THE ABILITY TO OFFER LOW-COST VACCINATION AND SPAY NEUTER CLINICS AND OVERALL INVESTMENT IN THE FUTURE CONSIDERING PROJECTED POPULATION GROWTH.
WHOLEHEARTEDLY SUPPORTING THE PROJECT IN HOPES THAT THEY WILL DO THE SAME. ON THE BEHALF OF THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE ADVISORY BOARD, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TODAY AND ESPECIALLY THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK BEFORE YOU AND BE OF SERVICE. THANK YOU.
>> CAN ALREADY HAVE COPIES OF THESE REMARKS? YOU'LL HAND IT TO ROAD AT. THANK YOU SO MUCH ON BEHALF OF THE COURT. I'M SURE SHE WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME.
AND IF NOT, WE WILL JUST MOVE ON TO OUR NEXT ITEM.
THANKS FOR THE GREAT THROAT PRESENTATION.

I DAY, DO YOU WANT TO HELP START THIS OFF? YOU HAVE A PRESENTATION TO SHARE? OR SOME INFORMATION? I REMEMBER WE TEST THE COURT LAST TIME TO GET SOME INFORMATION AND WHEN I ASKED YESTERDAY, WE STILL INHABIT. YOU MAY HAVE SOMETHING FOR US
TODAY. >> JUST A COUPLE THINGS.
JUST TO DUST IS A NONPROFIT JUSTICE JOINING US DOES NOT MAKE YOU OBLIGATED TO THE PLAN. FILL PLAN.
IT OPENS THE DOOR FOR YOU TO BUILD TO DO SO.
DID YOU ASK A QUESTION REGARDING RENEWABLE ENERGY
>> AND YOU HAVE THAT SET UP THAT WE CAN DO THAT THROUGH THE PROPER AREA IN THE REGION WHERE WE DO THAT?
>> YOU DO PROVIDE THAT SERVICE. >> AND SO, WERE YOU ABLE TO WORK WITH THIS DISH GO AHEAD I DAY.
>> OKAY. >> WE WOULD PROVIDE FOR REAL AFTER YOU GIVE US INFORMATION. WHAT WE CAN PROVIDE FOR YOU WITH THIS CURRENT MARKING. AS YOU CAN SEE THE PRICING IS THIS IS 36 YEARS. THIS IS NOT THE HIGHEST ONE THIS IS ONE OF THE HIGHEST RATES THAT I'VE SEEN IN A WHILE. VOLATILITY.NE OF THE THINGS WITH REGARD TO TEST BE BRING YOU THESE NUMBERS.
WE CAN BRING THEM AGAIN. ACCORDING TO BE UPDATED DEPENDS ON THE MARKET IS. SEE COMMITTEE DECISION AS TO WHEN YOU WANT TO USE IT.FOR WANT TO STAY WITH YOUR CURRENT PROVIDER. AND THAT IS YOU PROVIDING AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE GETTING THE BEST VALUE.
AND THAT'S WHAT OUR MISSION IS HERE FOR ALL OF YOU TO PROVIDE.
A SITUATION WHERE YOU GET Ã THIS IS A CRITIQUE OF THE LONGER TERMS ARE THE LOWER RATES.
THIS IS WE DO PROVIDE UNLIMITED SWING.
THAT MEANS YOU USE MORE OR LESS PRODUCE NO PENALTY.
THE RECENT WINTER STORM AND CHARGES TO ANY OF OUR 200 ENTITIES THAT WE REPRESENT. AND THAT WAS TO THE SAME WITH REGARD TO NUECES COUNTY. BASICALLY A GIVES US DISTANCE WE CAN BRING THIS ON A REGULAR BASIS.E ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO TAKE THEM UNTIL YOU DECIDE THAT YOU WANT USED TEST BE FOR YOUR ELECTRICITY PROVIDER. QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS?
>> OUR CURRENT RATE IS BETTER THAN THE 12 MONTH RATE OR 24
MONTH RATE OR 36 MONTH RATE. >> 109 A MONTH GREAT.
[02:30:02]
>> I SWUNG THE POINT AFTER. >> IT'S BETTER.
>> WE PROVIDED HERE TODAY. THE TEST ÃINDISCERNIBLE]
>> ALL THE CERTAINLY GOING AFTER IT.
THAT'S WHERE NUECES COUNTY CANNOT LOSE BY GETTING TO NUMBERS FROM NONPROFIT ENTITIES THAT ARE GOING TO BE IN COMPETITION AGAINST EACH OTHER. TO GIVE YOU THOSE SERVICES.
SO, THAT'S WHERE WE ARE. YOU'RE NOT JUSTICE THE MOST IMPORTANT PART IS THAT THIS ALLOWS YOU A WAY TO MEASURE WITH GAIA, BUT DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM US. THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. SO, WHAT I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE ARE CHOOSING TO THE JUDGE, RE-CHOOSING BETWEEN?
>> WHAT HAPPENS IS ON ITEM NUMBER NINE ÃÃTHERE IS A TEST AS WE BASICALLY DO NOTHING, WHICH JUST KEEPS US STATUS QUO.
OR WE WOULD OPT OUT IS THE ONLY ACTION THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED OF US AND WE DID NOT WANT TO STAY WITH POWERFUL OR P3.
AND WITH THIS GENTLEMAN IS SAYING THIS IS FORGIVE ME, AM PARAPHRASING AGAIN PRETTY HE IS ADVOCATING NO HARM YOU DECIDE TO JOIN TEST BE BECAUSE IT ALLOWS YOU TO HAVE MORE THAN ONE OPTION. WITH REGARDS TO SEEING WHAT ELECTRICITY COULD BE PROVIDED FOR ON THE OPEN MARKET.
AT ANY POINT IN TIME. AND I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT MONEY JUST PASS ON THIS RIGHT NOW SO WE CAN HEAR FROM POWER POOL. AND THEN WE CAN ALWAYS COME BACK TO IT. BUT ACTUALLY DAVID THIS IS AN HONOR THAT THEY WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE.
BUT I THINK WHAT IS LOOKING FOR TODAY FOR THE PORT IS THE ABILITY TO KEEP US STATUS QUO. I'M NOT SURE IF HE WOULD THINK THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH JOINING TEST BE TO GIVE US OPTIONALITY OR NOT. AS LONG AS WE STAY JUST AS LONG AS OUR INTENTIONS WERE TO STAY CURRENTLY WITH P3.
BUT THE P3 AGREEMENT ÃÃWE CAN SPECIFY THE TIME.
THAT WE WANT TO YOU KNOW, LOOK INTO THE FUTURE ELECTRICITY
RATES. >> I GUESS JENNY, WHAT IS THIS DISH REQUESTED PROCESS SURE EXACTLY WHAT TO DO.HE RATES
ARE BETTER. >> WE DO NOT HAVE ANY DOCUMENTS
TO LOOK AT FOR THIS. >> WE DON'T ACTUALLY AFFIRMATIVELY DO ANYTHING WE JUST HAVE TO AFFIRMATIVELY NOT DO SOMETHING SO, HOW ABOUT THIS IS TO REMIND YOU SEE AND WILL BRING IN MR. QUINN. LET THEM TALK ABOUT ELECTRICITY PROCUREMENT ONCE MORE AND GIVE US THE OVERVIEW.
WE HAVE ATTACHED OUR BUDGET ITEMS.
[9. Discuss and consider electricity procurement through Public Power Pool (P3), including opting-out of 2022 procurement cycle, procurement of renewals, and related matters. ]
ONCE AGAIN. THAT WHICH HE WENT OVER LASTTIME. >> JUDGE, WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS IF WE DON'T DO ANYTHING DISTANCE YOU STAY STILL.
>> DAVID, THE WANT TO UNMUTE AND REMIND THE COURT ABOUT THE
OPTIONS THAT WE HAVE TODAY? >> PARDON ME JUDGE.
DAVID QUINN IS PRESENTING IN THE CITY COUNTY RIGHT NOW.
AND IS NOT AVAILABLE AND HE ASKED ME TO SIT IN FOR HIM.
CAN YOU HEAR ME? >> YES, ABSOLUTELY.
>> MY NAME IS BRANDON FELTMAN I AM PART OF THE STAFF OF P3.
I DON'T HAVE A PRESENTATION TODAY.GAIN, DAVID ASKED ME DISSIDENT AND IF THERE WERE ANY QUESTIONS, I CAN ENTER.
BASED ON THE PREVIOUS CONVERSATION, I WOULD JUST POINT OUT THAT THE PUBLIC CARPOOL IS OPERATING A COMPETITIVE PROCUREMENT PROCESS.
WE HAVE PROVIDED YOU WITH A TARGET PRICE THAT WE ARE SEEKING IN THE MARKET AS PART OF THIS SOLICITATION ON BEHALF OF ABOUT 100 POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS IN THE STATE.
SO, THIS PRESENTATION ÃÃWE COULD STEP THROUGH VERY QUICKLY. I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE SEEN IT BEFORE. YOU CAN SEE THE MEMBERSHIP.
THAT IS ALL OVER THE STATE. AGAIN, ABOUT 100 POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS. IT'S A VERY ATTRACTIVE LOAD IN THE MARKET IS VERY LARGE AND DIVERSE CREDITWORTHY COUNTERPARTY. AND SO, WE COMMAND VERY SOLID RATES OF ONLY GO TO MARKET PAIRED WE ALSO ORIGINATE OUR OWN CONTRACT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS APPLICABLE TO THE NUMBER AND TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE PROTECTIONS.
THIS HAS BEEN IN OPERATION FOR 20 YEARS SUCCESSFULLY.ND WHERE WE ARE IN THE PROCESS TODAY IS WHERE THE SOLICITATION UNDERWAY AND WILL BE GETTING NOTIONAL RISING FROM THE MARKET OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. AS WE PROCEED.
OR PROCURE PROPOSAL SPECIFIES THAT WE HAVEN'T AUGUST TO COMPLETE A DEAL AND WE HAVE TO MEET OUR TARGET PRICE.
SO, YES, THIS IS FROM THE PAST YOU.
HISTORY OF P3. IT'S A BULK PURCHASING
[02:35:02]
INITIATIVE. WE ALSO REPRESENT THE MEMBERS AND BULK PURCHASE AND HAS BEEN SUBSTANTIAL SAVINGS THROUGH THE YEARS. GIVEN THE CORRECT MARKET CONDITION TEST THIS YEAR PRESENTLY FISH DISH WITH A VERY SOLID CONTRACT IN PLACE FOR THIS YEAR AND WE ARE SAVING ABOUT $100,000 A DAY FOR THE MEMBERSHIP FUND BASED ON CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS. VERY FAVORABLE RATE.>> I THINK DIRECT ENERGY DISPROVE THAT.
>> I KNOW YOU PROBABLY CAN'T SAY, BUT NO TRUER WORDS WERE SPOKEN BECAUSE WE WERE ACTUALLY LOOKING AT THE 12 MONTH RATE HERE. IT'S WHAT THE MARKET IS BEARING AND YOU ARE ACTUALLY RIGHT. NO PUN INTENDED, BUT THE POWER OF THE POOL IS WHAT ALLOWS FOR THAT, RIGHT? THAT IS HOW THE ENERGY MARKETS WORK.
WHAT I'M GONNA ASK COMMISSIONERS IF THEY GIVE QUESTIONS AGAIN, THE SAME PRESENTATION THAT DAVID WENT OVER. I THINK THAT THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION THAT COMMISSIONER CHESNEY IS POSING IS THAT YOU DON'T NEED US TO DO ANYTHING, ALL WE NEED TO DO IS STAY STILL TO CONTINUE WITH OUR POWER POOL ALSO, I'M GONNA MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION TO MAKE DO THAT AT THIS POINT.
AND MAKE THAT MOTION TO STAY WITH POWER POOL AND ALLOW YOU TO THIS DISH PART OF THE MEMBERS NOTICE PROCEDURE.
THIS IS PART OF THE PROCEDURE THAT WE GO THROUGH AND MAKE SURE WE DON'T WANT TO OPT OUT AND.
BUT WANT TO STAY IN IS MY MOTION.
MY MOTION IS THE STAND AND IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DO NOTHING. DON'T HAVE ANY ACTION AT ALL IS
MY UNDERSTANDING. >> SO, WE DON'T NEED TO HAVE A
MOTION THAT? >> MOTION DEVON EMOTION?
>> I BELIEVE THAT WHAT IS REQUIRED IS JUST SIMPLY TO ÃÃ
THAT WE DO NOT WISH TO OPT OUT. >> THE MOTION.
>> THAT IS REALLY THE MOTION. >> OUR MOTION IS TO NOT OPT OUT. OF THE PROCUREMENT CYCLE.
WHICH MEANS WE SPECIFICALLY SAY OUR INTENTION IS TO GO AND STAND ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY MISSING EYE.
GOING BACK TO ITEM NUMBER EIGHT, I WOULD LIKE SOME QUICK CLARITY ON GIVEN THAT POWER POOL BASICALLY STATES THAT THEY DO GO OUT TO EVERY SINGLE RETAIL ELECTRIC PROVIDER, INCLUDING DIRECT ENERGY. I'M NOT OPPOSED TO HEARING WHAT THE ADVANTAGES ARE. BUT AT THIS TIME, YOU'RE THE COURSE CAN STAY WITH POWER POOL FOR OBVIOUS REASONS GIVEN THE MARKET FOR INOPERATIVE VOLATILITY IN OUR ABILITY TO ACHIEVE BETTER PRICING COMES FROM THE COLLECTIVE YOU KNOW, STRENGTH OF HOW MUCH POWER WE ARE BUYING COLLECTIVELY.
UT, PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION TO THE COURT MANAGER ABOUT THIS BUSINESS OF YOU CAN JOIN OUR CLUB.
AND IT DOESN'T HURT YOU. GIVEN THAT DAVID IS NOT ON THIS IS TO CHECK THE SESSION I TRUST, BUT VERIFY THAT COMMENT AND TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY YOU KNOW, OPPORTUNITY.
BUT I THINK THAT IS WHERE I SEE IT.
I DON'T SEE US GOING TO JOIN THIS AS I WOULD NOT BE COMFORTABLE MAKING A JOINT TASK BE BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE ADVANTAGE RIGHT NOW. BUT IF YOU SEE ONE THAT I'M NOT SEEING, BY ALL MEANS, SEND IT OPEN.
>> IN TERMS OF THE ADVANTAGE, WE'RE GIVING YOU INFORMATION WE'RE GONNA MARKET ALSO. IT DOESN'T HURT TO HAVE 200 AND APPROVE IT DOES NOT HURT YOU TO DO THAT.
IT'S JUST AS WE HAVE OVER 200 ENTITIES THAT WE SERVE.
THE MARKET IS VERY VOLATILE. FREE TO SIGN THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH CASPI DOES NOT REQUIRE YOU TO PURCHASE FROM US. DOES NOT REQUIRE YOU TO DO THAT. WE GET THAT INFORMATION AND LETTER OF AUTHORIZATION AND THAT'S HOW WE WOULD GIVE YOU MISSING RIGHT NOW IN TODAY'S MARKET.
WE ARE GIVING YOU PRICING IN NEXT MONTH'S MARKET.
AND IT DOES NOT OBLIGATE YOU TO GO WITH THIS AT ALL.
IT DOESN'T HURT YOU IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM.
ALL IT DOES IS THAT IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO SIGN THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH SP, WE CAN STILL PROVIDE YOU THE INFORMATION AND YOU CAN SIGN AT THAT TIME IF YOU LIKE OR THAT WE PROVIDED YOU. IT'S TIME TO GO AWAY.
OUR ABILITY IN THE LETTER OF AUTHORIZATION, AND THE MARKET AND HUNT FOR YOU IS STILL THERE.
>> UNDERSTOOD. I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU THOUGH. WOULDN'T YOU JUST AS WOODED DIRECT ENERGY DISTRICTS WHICH IS THE AFFILIATION OF CASPI, WOULD THEY BE RESPONDING TO POWER POLES?
>> THE INTERLOCAL BETWEEN US AND ÃÃINDISCERNIBLE] THERE SORTED THE FIGHT WOULD BE FOR GOVERNMENT ENTITIES.
THEY ARE NOT TO BE SUBSIDIARY OF THEM IS NOT GONNA BE
[02:40:04]
RESPONDING TO THIS POWER POOL. THEY'RE GOING AFTER THE MARKET THEMSELVES THE IDEAS THAT WE REPRESENT.>> OKAY. >> IS NOT GOING WITH YOU ALL.
T'S JUST A MATTER OF THEM GOING OUT FOR US.
>> OKAY. I GUESS WHERE I END UP IS THAT I COULD JUST HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT WITH POWERFUL AND HE'S NOT AVAILABLE ON OF THE DAY, JUST ASK THE QUESTION. I MEAN, WE'RE STAYING WITH POWER POOL, BUT IS ÃÃDO THEY HAVE ANY CONFLICTS? WOULD JOINING TAZ BE AFFECTED IN ANY WAY OUR POSITION WITH
CARPOOL? >> AGAIN, NOT REALLY UNDERSTANDING IF WE ADOPTED A STAND ÃÃWHAT THE BENEFIT IS, BECAUSE WE'VE OPTED TO STAY IN AND OBLIGATED FOR A PERIOD OF TIME ÃTHIS I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS IS WHY WE ARE JUMPING ON
THE TAZ BE THERE. >> THERE'S ALWAYS SOME SORT OF UNWRITTEN RULE THERE WITH POWER POOL.
F YOU ARE REALLY UNHAPPY, YOU REALLY DON'T WANT TO BE THERE, YOU COULD CERTAINLY ASK TO SAY HEY, I REALLY WANT TO BE RELEASED. THEY ARE IN THE BUSINESS OF KEEPING COUNTIES HAPPY. THE TOTEM SIGN.
I THINK FOR TODAY, I WOULD JUST.
>> I UNDERSTAND. WHAT WE WILL DO FOR YOU ALL IS JUST AS WE ARE NONPROFIT. WE ARE SERVICE AGENCY.E GIVE YOU PRICING. WE HAVE INFORMATION THAT WE
NEED FROM YOU. >> BRING YOU PRICING AND AT THAT POINT TIME YOU PRICES, WE PROBABLY THE MARKET PRICING TODAY. I WAS ON THE TABLE.
SOME ARE ATTRACTIVE FOR ESAU TODAY.
>> RIGHT. >> THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THAT WE WILL NOT GO TO THE MARKET ONCE MORE.
>> I THINK THAT'S FAIR. WE TALKED ABOUT THE JOURNEY
[13. Discuss and consider accepting City Port Aransas, Texas Resolution No. 2022-R-15 (passed April 4. 2022) regarding purchase of Nueces County’s real property located at 430 N. Alister St., in Port Aransas, Texas]
TODAY, BUT YOU ARE WELCOME TO BRING US IN INFORMATION THATENLIGHTENS US, HOW'S THAT? >> THE SENSE FOR ME TO PUT.
>> IN ACTION ON NUMBER NINE. >> ALL MOVE ON TO NUMBER 13.
AND ASKED THAT THIS BE ACKNOWLEDGED AS BEING AN EXECUTIVE SESSION. A LITTLE BIT LATER.
>> TO BE TAKE ACTION NUMBER NINE?
>> THINK JUDGMENT, EVENT æ >> I'M SORRY, SAID THAT WON'T CARE. NO ACTION ON EIGHT.
WE ALREADY TOOK ACTION ON NONPRINT WE'VE ALREADY DONE 10 AND 11. AND I MISSED 12.
SORRY ABOUT THAT. I WENT AHEAD AND SAID 13, CUMULATED TOOK THAT TO EXECUTIVE SESSION?
>> I'M NOT SURE IF AT THIS POINT THERE IS A NEED TO GO TO EXECUTIVE SESSION JENNY. BECAUSE DOSES CAN MAKE A MOTION
TO ADJOURN. >> LUNGS AND BUT IS OKAY WITH THE COURTHOUSE GONNA MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE WHAT THEY OFFER, BUT I DON'T KNOW JENNY NEEDS TO ADDRESS ANYTHING AN
EXECUTIVE SESSION. >> THERE ARE ITEMS IN WHICH WE
ARE GONNA ASK THE COURT TO ADD. >> FAIR ENOUGH.
[15. Discuss and consider taking action on settlement demand concerning personal injury claim o/b/o ARH, a minor.]
>> WE WILL TAKE THAT TO EXECUTIVE SESSION.
AND NOW WE WILL GO BACK TO NUMBER 12.
AND ALSO, WHILE DOING THIS, MAJOR STUDY THE ITEM 15 WILL ALSO GO TO EXECUTIVE SESSION. IS THAT CORRECT? JENNY, IT IS THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT.
>> I WILL HAVE INFORMATION ON THAT.
[14. Discuss and consider approving the updated Nueces County Commissioners’ Court Policy and Procedure Guidelines incorporating changes approved by the Commissioners Court on March 30, 2022 and also incorporating non-substantive formatting and renumbering changes, and related matters.]
>> AND JUST LETTING THE COURT KNOW THAT I DID 15 ALSO GO TO EXECUTIVE SESSION. AND JUST TO BE SUPERQUICK, ITEM NUMBER 14 IS ALSO VERY MINISTERIAL.
COULD WE HAVE A MOTION? IT'S JUST TO APPROVE THE FINALIZED FORMAL VERSION OF THE POLICIES AND PROCEDURE GUIDELINES AT THE COURT APPROVED.
>> SO MOVED. >> IS THERE A MOTION AND A SECOND? I CAN PRINT ALL THOSE IN FAVOR
IT WAS HIS MINISTERIAL, CORRECT? PUTTING THEM ALL TOGETHER AND RENUMBERING THEM AND REFORMATTING THEM THAT'S GOING FORWARD PRINT IS NOT
RETROACTIVE CORRECT? >> THAT IS CORRECT.
>> AGAIN, I DON'T FOLLOW THE GONZALES POOL.
ALTHOUGH, I DO THINK IT IS KIND OF INTERESTING.
I VOTED AGAINST THAT. THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT IF THE COURTS WILL DO THAT WE OUGHT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET IT FORMATTED CORRECTLY. I THINK THAT IS IMPORTANT.
[12. Discuss and consider Premium Pay under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) for law enforcement in the Nueces County Collective Bargaining Agreement.]
AND THEN THE NEXT ONE IS. >> YOU BEEN WILL NOT PRINT.
>> A RULE FOR THEM. >> IT'S NOT WAS A GOOD THING.
WOOD EXCITED ABOUT IT. NUMBER 12 IS WITH JERMAINE RIGHT NOW.HICH IS THE PREMIUM PAY.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THAT WE TAKE A LITTLE BATHROOM BREAK RIGHT AFTER ITEM NUMBER 12 TO GIVE EVERYBODY.
>> TO BE DUE 14? >> YES, WE DID.
>> WE REFORMATTED IT. IT'S LIKE RENUMBERING AND NICELY IN ONE DOCUMENT VERSUS JUSTICE.
>> YOU GOT HIM RIGHT CARE? >> THE GONZALES WILL.
>> DISCUSSING ITEM NUMBER 12 IS DISCUSSING PREMIUM PAY UNDER THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT. FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT IN THE NUECES COLLECTIVE COUNTY BARGAINING AGREEMENT.
THE PULPIT ON BEEN REFERRED TO DELL'S DONE SOME WORK UP.
[02:45:06]
I DAY HAS DONE SOME WORK UP. TOM B HAS DONE SOME WORK APPEAR. WITH THE DONALD CARPENTIER.SO, ONCE INTRODUCED THE OPTIONS? OPTIONS ARE ON THE TABLE FOR US TODAY.
I DAY, THANK YOU. >> THE OF A SPREADSHEET OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT WE COULD PUT IT?
>> IT'S IN THE PACKET? >> WE CAN REFER TO THE PACKETS
AS WELL. >> WE JUST PUT THIS OVER THERE.
>> IT'S COMING IN HERE. THERE IT IS.
SO, YOU WILL RECALL THE COURT HAD SENT 20 PERCENT AND THERE IS SOME OPPORTUNITIES FOR OPTIONS YOU CAN RUN THROUGH.
DALE, ARE THEY FOR US? IT'S AND CALCULATIONS.
WHAT WOULD IT LOOK LIKE IT TWO YEARS AT 20 PERCENT? AND WHEN YOU'RE AT 35 PERCENT? IS ANYBODY HERE FROM THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE ONLINE, CONNIE, WITH THIS?
>> IS AT THE SHOW'S OFFICE. HE ASSOCIATION? THANK YOU. I DIDN'T SEE IT, BUT THE COULD BE. OKAY.
IMAGES REPRESENT THE COURT THAT THE SHERIFFS ASSOCIATION HAS SEEN HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WEIGH IN REGARDS TO THE OPTIONS
THAT ARE HERE. >> DALE, I DON'T KNOW.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO START US OFF WITH WITH THIS ORIGINAL PLAN
LOOKS LIKE? >> OPTIONS THAT MAY BE WE CAME UP TO WORK THE DIRECTION THE COURT WANTED TO TAKE ACTION ON, WE PUT IN SEVERAL PROPOSALS FOR THE OPTIONS WE ARE AT 20 PERCENT OF THE THIS DISH EACH OF THE OFFICERS HAVE.
WHEN ASKED TO INCREASE SOME OF THEM GOING FROM 2025 30 TO 30 PERCENT. MY STAFF AND I MET WITH THE UNION LEADERS AND THEY ARE PROPOSING A 35 PERCENT THRESHOLD FOR THEIR BALANCES. WE'LL SEE EACH OF THEM ON THESE LISTS HERE. SHOWING HIM WHAT THE ADDITIONAL COST WOULD BE GOING INTO EACH OF THESE LEVELS.
THERE ARE ALSO ADDITIONAL COSTS THAT SEVERAL OF THESE WILL BE EXCEEDED. THE THRESHOLDS THAT WILL BE THEY SAY ÃÃSOME PEOPLE SAY IT'S NOT AN ISSUE.
DO NOT BE AN ISSUE, BUT THERE COULD BE POTENTIAL LIABILITY IF WE DO THIS. AND POTENTIAL OF IT.
SO, AS YOU SEE, THE BALANCE IS ÃÃTHE COURT DISMISSED THE UNION ÃÃTHE 35 PERCENT AND I BELIEVE THAT ADDITIONAL TWO OR $3 MILLION. IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY æ
>> WAS THE POTENTIAL ISSUE? THAT'S KIND OF IMPORTANT.
>> THERE IS A THRESHOLD OF AN THRESHOLD OF 150 AND SOME WILL SAY THAT THOSE NOT RELATED ISSUE FOR REGULAR SALARY EMPLOYEES. DO NOT BE.
THE SURGERY COMES IN AND SAYS THERE IS, THERE CAN BE POTENTIAL LIABILITY OF ABOUT $4 BILLION IN THE COUNTY.
POTENTIAL PRELIMINARIES, BUT THERE COULD BE POTENTIAL.
>> THAT MEAN THE COUNTY WOULD HAVE TO REPAY $40,000.
>> WHAT IS THE NUMBER DISTANCE THERE IS NO POTENTIAL
LIABILITY. >> THERE REALLY ARE NOT BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH 20 PERCENT SAY SEVERAL EMPLOYEES GO OVER THE
150. >> WE NEED THAT WOMAN TO THAT
THE FIRST TIME AROUND. >> AND SO, IS THIS AN INCREASE
LIABILITY? >> YES.> WHAT WAS THE
POTENTIAL? >> 20 PERCENT, BUT FIVE OR 10 EMPLOYEES THAT DON'T EXCEED THAT.
ONLY ABOUT 40 OR 50 THOUSAND DOLLARS.
IF WE GET TO THE 35 PERCENT CAN THAT WILL BE ABOUT 150 EMPLOYEES. AND THEN A POTENTIAL LIABILITY BEING ANYWHERE FROM 350 $400,000.
POTENTIAL. >> SO RELIABILITY AND HOW YOU READ THE FINAL RULES THE FINAL RULES SAY PEOPLE THAT QUALIFY FOR OVERTIME REALLY DON'T HAVE A THRESHOLD, WITH DEPENDS ON HOW THE TREASURY, ON THE AUDIT, THE MAY FIND AN ISSUE AND THERE COULD BE POTENTIAL LIABILITY. YOU MIGHT NOT BE.
I DON'T KNOW. >> CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THAT OR THRESHOLD TEST IS THE INCOME SOCIAL COMMITTEE OF TO INCLUDE ALL SOURCES OF REVENUE PUT ALL SOURCES OF INCOME.
AND AS YOU SEE OVER 7700 JUSTICE ANYTHING ABOVE THAT CAN BE POTENTIAL LIABILITY. POTENTIAL FOR US TO DO THE PERCENTAGE, BUT I BLOODIED MEETING NOT THE PREMIUM PAY.
>> MEETING THAT YOU COULD ONLY DO SO MUCH.
>>. >> THE IS THE THRESHOLD THAT THE HAGGERTY BROUGHT US. TWO 78,000 761.
ONCE THE THRESHOLD FOR THE NUECES COUNTY ANYBODY THAT SEES LESS THAN 70,600 EARLY PROBLEM. ONCE YOU GET PAST THAT 600
[02:50:03]
DEATHS TESTED TO POTENTIAL LIABILITY.>>. >> WE HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW MUCH OVERTIME THE EMPLOYEES WORK.
>> OKAY. >> THE EMPLOYEES JUST SUBMITTED
OVER TIME 55 HOURS. >> BUT TO HELP YOU WITH THIS PARTICULAR SPREADSHEET, JUST THIS ONE, BECAUSE I CANNOT ANSWER THAT ONE. MAGIC BRINGING TOM B?
>> AND HE CAN JUST WALK US THROUGH OPTIONS.
EVEN IF ANY OF THESE OTHER QUESTIONS IT IS LOOK AT THESE OPTIONS AND SEE WHICH ONES LOOK GOOD TO YOU.
I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A BAD OPTION.
BUT THERE ARE SOME OPTIONS THAT CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR RETENTION. THAT ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS.
TOM, I HOPE THAT HE SET UP JUST A LITTLE BIT.
YOU HAVE HAD THOSE GOOD DISCUSSIONS WITH MR. OFFICER DEPUTY CARPENTIER. AND YOU'VE GOT A GOOD FEEL FOR
WHAT THEY ARE THINKING AS WELL. >> YES JUDGE.
THANK YOU. AS YOU STATED, THEY DID HAVE A VERY PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATION DEPUTY CARPENTIER.
AND HE WAS OF THE OPINION THAT WE SHARE.
THAT IF THERE'S A WAY TO MAKE THE PREMIUM PAYMENTS ALSO SERVE THE ADDED BENEFIT OF RETENTION ÃÃTHAT WOULD BE POSITIVE.
IN SO FAR AS IT WOULD HELP TO ADDRESS THE PRESSING NEED THAT THE COUNTY STATE ÃÃIN TERMS RETAINING DEPUTIES.
BASED ON THAT CONVERSATION, WE LOOKED AT FOUR DIFFERENT SCENARIOS. THE FIRST WAS THE 35 PERCENT SCENARIO STRAIGHT PREMIUM PAY THAT DALE REFERENCED.
THE SECOND WOULD BE INSTEAD OF USING THE PREMIUM PAY ELIGIBILITY ÃTHIS USED A NEW ELIGIBILITY THAT WAS CONTAINED IN THE FINAL RULE FOR RETENTION INCENTIVES.
I WOULD ALLOW THE SAME AMOUNT OF ACTUALLY THIS IS 40 PERCENT POINT PERCENT IN YOUR ONE 20 PERCENT YEAR TWO.
SPLIT OVER TWO YEARS PAYING OUT IN INCREMENTS.
WHICH WOULD PROVIDE BOTH RETENTION INCENTIVE AND ALSO FOR RECRUITMENT INCENTIVE. THIS PAYMENT WOULD BE GOING TO NEW EMPLOYEES AS WELL. WOULD NO LONGER BE TIED TO SERVICE THAT OCCURRED DURING THE COVID PANDEMIC.
THAT'S THE VERY ATTRACTIVE OPTION.
IN OUR PENDING FOR THE COUNTY. >> THERE'S ANOTHER OPTION THE NATURAL EXTENSION OF THAT WOULD BE TO BRING THAT OUT FROM TWO YEARS TO FOUR YEARS. IT IS ALLOWABLE UNDER THE PERIOD OF FOR OUR BOOK. THAT WOULD REDUCE THE PAYMENT 10 PERCENT.N EACH OF FOUR YEARS.
STILL AT THE 40 PERCENT THAT MIGHT BE APPEALING BECAUSE IT'S NOT AS MUCH MONEY INTO POCKETS AS QUICKLY.UT, IT WOULD SERVE ADDITIONAL RETENTION AND RECRUITMENT.
BENEFITS. SO THAT IS CERTAINLY SUBJECT TO
CONSIDERATION. >> THAT IS THAT SOCIETY WANT TO ADDRESS THE POINT RELATED TO THE POTENTIAL LIABILITY FOR PREMIUM PAY RELATED INDIVIDUALS WHO EXCEED THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT THRESHOLD. THERE ARE TWO SALIENT POINTS THERE. THE FIRST IS THAT FROM THE INTERIM FINAL RULE TO THE FINAL RULE OF THE TREASURY CLARIFY AND EXPLICIT DETAILS. THAT INDIVIDUALS WHO EXEMPT FROM EXEMPT FROM ARE NOT EXEMPT FROM STANDARDS ACT MEANING THEY ARE PAID OVERTIME. OUR NOT SUBJECT TO THE INCOME THRESHOLD. SO WE CERTAINLY HAVE NOT SEEN IT IN ANY OTHER ENGAGEMENT OF THE COUNTRY.
THE CONCERN THAT THAT LIABILITY WOULD BE INCURRED.
ALTHOUGH, TAKING A CONSERVATIVE POSITION AS THE ELVES ADVOCATING IS NOTHING WE WOULD EVER ADVOCATE AGAINST.
THAT SAID, THE ENTIRE ISSUE COULD BE PUT ASIDE, BUT SHIFTING FROM PREMIUM PAY ELIGIBILITY TO THE RETENTION INCENTIVE ELIGIBILITY, WHICH IS CONTAINED WITHIN THE PUBLIC SECTOR CAPACITY BUILDING. PORTION OF THE FINAL RULE AND THAT WOULD BE POSSIBLE UNDER THE FORWARD-LOOKING TWO-YEAR OR FOUR-YEAR 40 PERCENT TOTAL. THE TENSION INCENTIVE PROGRAM.
>> WILL SET AND SO, THE OFFICERS INCLUDING THE NEW ONES WOULD BE ALSO BE ABLE TO QUALIFY FOR THIS RETENTION PART
THAT WOULD BE RECRUITMENT BONUS AS WELL AND ACTUALLY HELP TO FILL THOSE VACANCIES AND REDUCE OVERTIME COSTS.
[02:55:02]
>> AND OLIVIA FOR THAT. >> THAT THEN WOULD TAKE CARE
OF. >> TIME, JOE QUESTIONED IF THEY DO RETENTION PROCESS. WITH THE FUNDING COME FROM THE
NOT REVENUE LOSS. ELIGIBILITY.
THIS IS CONTAINED IN THE NEGATIVE ECONOMIC IMPACT ELIGIBILITY.UNDER PUBLIC SECTOR CAPACITY BUILDING.
IT WAS NEW ELIGIBILITY THAT WAS INTRODUCED IN THE FINAL PANEL, THE RULE AND IT'S NOW ELIGIBILITY THAT I PERSONALLY HAVE USED SUCCESSFULLY IN MULTIPLE OTHER COUNTIES
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. >> INUIT CANDY BAR THAT WOULD FIT UNDER? JUST A IS JUST WHAT CATEGORY REPORTING JUSTICE [INDISCERNIBLE]
>> IT'S IN THE REGULAR ECONOMIC IMPACTS SECTION.
THE PAGE NUMBER IN FRONT OF ME. RIGHT NOW.
AND IF I FLIP OFF THE BAR SOON ÃIS IT MIGHT FREEZE.
WE'VE DONE A DETAILED WRITTEN ANALYSIS ELIGIBILITY FOR THE RETENTION BONUS FOR THE LAW-ENFORCEMENT PULLEYS.
>> SO, ACTUALLY, THIS GETS MORE WITH LESS LIABILITY POTENTIAL FOR THE COUNTY IS WHAT I'M HEARING.
WASN'T HEARING IT RIGHT. >> THAT'S WHAT TOM IS SAYING.
E CAN MAINTAIN OUR CURRENT PREMIUM AS IT IS AND ALSO INITIATE A RETENTION PROGRAM UNDER A DIFFERENT PROGRAM TO A DIFFERENT PLATFORM.F THAT'S WHAT I'M HEARING.
>> OUR INTENTION WOULD BE TO MAINTAIN ON THE LAW-ENFORCEMENT SIDE. IT WOULD BE THE SEPARATE OUT AND INSTEAD OF USING THE PREMIUM PAY ELIGIBILITY TEST ISSUE WOULD BE USED IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR CAPACITY NEGATIVE ECONOMIC ELIGIBILITY USING THE SAME POOL OF MONEY THAT HAS BEEN COMMITTED. VIA UP TO 40 PERCENT POOL OF MONEY. AND THEN STRETCH SET OVER WHATEVER PERIOD OF TIME THE COURT FELT WAS APPROPRIATE.
O ÃÃEXCUSE ME GO AHEAD. AND NOT CHOKE HERE.
>> SO, ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT WE TAKE IT OUT OF THE PREMIUM PAY? ALL OF IT OUT OF PREMIUM PAY AND PUT INTO THIS NEW CATEGORY THAT YOU'RE TELLING US ABOUT?
[INDISCERNIBLE] THAT'S REALLY JUST ÃÃTHE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CALLING IT PREMIUM PAY AND CALLING IT RETENTION INCENTIVE IS REALLY JUST A TREASURY REPORTING ISSUE. AND AGAIN, FREEING UP THAT ISSUE OF POTENTIAL LIABILITY. THE ELIGIBILITY UNDER THE RETENTION INCENTIVE IS CLEAR. OU ARE ALLOWED TO GO TO 20 PERCENT FOR ANY INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEES.
>> AGAIN, THAT MAKES SENSE TO ME.
IF WE PUT ALL OF IT I THINK, WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS IF WE PUT ALL THIS IN THIS NEW CATEGORY THEN, WE RACE EVEN AT 40 OR 50 PERCENT ÃIS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS THAT DELL MENTIONED EARLIER THAT WE TOOK ON THE FIRST GO ROUND.
AND THEY WOULD GET MORE IN THEIR POCKETS.
WE WOULD HAVE LESS LIABILITY AND WE WOULD JUST NEED TO DETERMINE HOW TO HOW MUCH TIME TO SPREAD THIS OVER.
>> YES SIR. THAT'S HOW WE SEE.
OUR RECOMMENDATION AT THIS POINT IS TO BASICALLY TO SEGMENT THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AWAY FROM ALLOW THE EXISTING PREMIUM PAY HAS BEEN DESIGNED FOR HAVING EMPLOYEES TO STAY IN PLACE THAT PROGRAMS IN EFFECT. AND SPLIT THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AND DO THAT AS A RESULT IS THAT THE RETENTION BONUS AND YES, RACE THE LIABILITY CONCERN COMPLETELY.
>> IT SOUNDS LIKE THE POLICE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION CONCURRED
WITH THIS ALSO. >> MR. CORBIN DA WAS VERY POSITIVE WHEN I SPOKE WITH HIM ABOUT THE CONCEPT.
>> WEAVES A NEGATIVE ECONOMIC IMPACT, WE DO THE SAME REQUIREMENTS OF THE STEPS PREMIUM PAY CANNOT EXCEED $13 AN HOUR IN EXCEED $25,000 FOR THEM ECONOMIC IMPACT DOES
EXIST, CORRECT? >> THIS REQUIREMENT STOWAWAYS WILL PAY THE ONLY REQUIREMENT IS THAT YOU PAY AN INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEE, YOU CANNOT EXCEED 20 PERCENT OF THEIR SALARY FOR THEIR RETENTION INCENTIVE. IF YOU'RE PAYING A CLASS OF EMPLOYEES THAT THIS YOU CANNOT EXCEED 10 PERCENT, BUT IT'S JUST AS HE CAN CHOOSE THE MAXIMUM BETWEEN THE TWO OF THOSE. UNDER THIS PROPOSAL IS TO UNDER THIS WANT YOU TALKING ABOUT. WITH THE ADDITIONAL FUNDS? WHAT'S THE ADDITIONAL METHOD WILL COME OUT OF THE ARPA
FUNDS? >> DALE, THAT'S A QUESTION FOR YOU. T SHOULD BE THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT AT THE BEGINNING.
THE ONLY SMALL ADJUSTMENT WOULD BE DEPENDING ON HOW LONG YOU SPREAD THE PAYOUT OVER MAYOR AND STEP INCREASES COULD CREATE SOME SLIGHT VARIANCES. BECAUSE SALARIES INCREASES.
ALARIES INCREASE.UT, WE ANTICIPATE PRELIMINARILY THAT
[03:00:02]
THAT WOULD BE OFFSET BY VACANCIES AND NEW EMPLOYEES.SO, IT SHOULD BE ABOUT A WASH. >> PROBABLY DID NOT ASK IT
RIGHT. >> IF THERE'S A MAXIMUM OF 20 PERCENT OF THE ANNUAL SALARY, WHAT YOU'RE SAYING MAX ON THE ECONOMIC IMPACT. AND YOU KNEW 40 PERCENT FOR THE ENTIRE PROCESS, AND WE DO TWO YEARS AT 20 PERCENT.
EACH YEAR IT WAS ABOUT $3 MILLION APIECE?
FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT ONLY? >> RIGHT, SO WE'RE TALKING AN ADDITIONAL $3 MILLION OUT OF THE ARPA FUND, WHICH WE ARE
VERY COMMITTED.> CORRECT. >> I THINK WHAT'S NICE ABOUT IT IS ÃÃIN A STRANGE WAY, WHAT'S NICE ABOUT IT IS THAT IN A STRANGE WAY THE DELAY CREATED AN AVENUE TO PUT IT SOMEWHERE ELSE AND YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO GET IT ADDED THAT LOST
REVENUE CATEGORY. >> BIG TIME.
'M SUPPORT THE 20 PERCENT EACH.
GETS US A PAYMENT THAT IS COMMENSURATE WITH THE SERVICE.
BUT ALSO MORE IMPORTANTLY, AN INCENTIVE TO RETAIN, WHICH IS
THEIR NUMBER ONE PROBLEM. >> I THINK THE ONLY CONCERN THAT I AM ARTICULATING THE TALKED ABOUT IS IF THE DECLARATION IS THAT THERE IS NO MORE EMERGENCY THAN THE FUNDS
STOP. >> TIME CAN ADDRESS THAT.
TOM, DID YOU HEAR COMMISSIONER CHESNEY?
>> THAT WOULD BE AN ISSUE THAT WAS VERY SPECIFIC TO THE PREMIUM PAY.ND THEY CAME DOWN YOU KNOW, SORT OF IN A HYBRID POSITION THERAPIST.HE PROBABLY WORKING AROUND.
IN PLACE. BUT THAT, THE ISSUE OF THE DECLARATION HAS NO IMPACT WHATSOEVER ON RETENTION.
BONUS OR RETENTION INCENTIVE. ELIGIBILITY.
BECAUSE THE ELIGIBILITY IS NOT TIED TO EMPLOYEES DOING WORK DURING THE PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY OR DURING THE PANDEMIC. IT'S TIED TO NEGATIVE ECONOMIC IMPACTS. SPURRING FROM THE PANDEMIC THAT ALREADY OCCURRED. AND MADE IT DIFFICULT FOR GOVERNMENTS TO FILL POSITIONS AND KEEP THEIR STAFFING AT FULL
COMPLEMENT. >> OKAY, BASICALLY WHAT YOU'RE SUGGESTING IS THE SAFER WAY THIS IS A SOUSED ASK IT BECAUSE I GET ASKED THAT I WILL MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION.
THE ANSWER DISTANCE WHAT WOULD BE THE BAD PART ABOUT DOING IT OVER ONE YEAR AT THE 40 UNDER YOUR PLAN?
>> WE WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO. THE PREMIUM PART OF THE ELIGIBILITY MAXES OUT AT 20 PERCENT OF AN INDIVIDUAL
EMPLOYEES SALARY. >> SO, THEY'RE STILL GOING AT THE SAME MONEY, THEY JUST CAN GET IT OVER TWO YEARS INSTEAD OF ONE. WILL SO AND AS LONG AS THE OFFICER ASSOCIATION IS OKAY WITH THAT, AND BASED ON WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, I WOULD ASSUME THAT THE POSITIVE, BECAUSE THEY'RE GONNA GET IT. AND WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE ANY LIABILITY, BECAUSE THE LIABILITY IS CERTAINLY A CONCERN TO ME. I DON'T WANT TO TAKE A $400,000 POTENTIAL LIABILITY. MY MIND.
IF THIS ELIMINATES IT, BUT THEN WE ARE BEING TRUE TO OUR WORD AND GETTING THOSE FUNDS. AND WE JUST NEED TO CALCULATE THAT TO DALE OVER THE LONG HAUL, BECAUSE THAT TAKES ANOTHER 3 MILLION OUT OF THE FUNDS SO THAT ONLY HAVE TO GO BACK AND GET ALL THE WORKSHOP THAT WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO YET, THAT'S GONNA TAKE SOME MORE MONEY INTO THAT FUND THAT WE HAVEN'T YET VOTED ON. AND SO, THAT'S FINE.
I'M'S MAKING SURE ONE THAT WORKS OUTCOMES, WE HAVE ALL THAT. TO ME, THIS SOUNDS VERY REASONABLE AND LIKE YOU SAID, JUDGE, VERY NICE THAT SOMETIMES THINGS HAPPEN FOR A REASON. AND WE HAD TO WAIT, BECAUSE NOW WE HAVE COME UP WITH A NEW RULE THAT ALLOWS US TO DO THIS LEGITIMATELY WITH NO LIABILITY. SO.
I THINK IT'S A POSITIVE. >> RIGHT.
>> AND I THINK WE NEED TO MAKE A MOTION TO DO THAT.
I'M READY TO DO THAT IF THE COURT WANTS TO.
AND HAVE THIS DISCUSSION FOR. >> I'M READY TO DO IT, AND THE ONLY THING I WOULD SAY IS THAT THERE ARE ALL THESE LITTLE DETAILS THAT AUDITORS OFFICE NEEDS TO KNOW, WORK ON.
JUST MAKE THE MOTION AND THEN WHATEVER DETAILS ARE NEEDED, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO BRING THEM BACK.
>> ALLEN WAS THE RETENTION JUST AS HOME COMMUNITY RETENTION?
THE TWO YEARS? >> LIKE THOMPSON, TO MAXIMUM OF 40 PERCENT AND YOU CAN DO THIS TEST YOU CAN DO FOR YEARS AT 10
PERCENT FOR TWO YEARS AT 20. >> TWO YEARS AT 20?
>> WITHOUT THE 20 STEPS TEST WE ARE READY TOLD THEM 20S.
I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT WE NEED TO KEEP OUR WORD AT 20.
WHICH MAKES THE BEST OPTION FOR THE TWO AT 20.
>> THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN MAINLY SAME.
THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN SAYING. NOW WE HAVE A WAY TO DO IT.
I GUESS WHAT WE ARE GETTING TO. AND IN THIS TEST TEST TOM HAS HAD EXPERIENCE AS HE SAID, HE'S GOT A DETAILED KIND OF ANALYSIS. HE HAS DONE THIS IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS. OTHER COUNTIES SUCCESSFULLY AND IT ACTUALLY DOES WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE DOING.
WHICH IS. >> I'M SORRY JUDGE.HE ME JUST SAY TO, BECAUSE UP IN THE FIRST PRINT.
CORRESPOND TO DECIDE THAT THIS IS GREAT.
[03:05:01]
I DON'T THINK OF HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT WITH YOU.SINCE I HAVE CHECKED MY CRITICISMS, LET ME ALSO SHOW MY PRAISE. THIS IS ALSO A GREAT RESOLVE.
I THAT'S JUST ME ÃÃI DON'T WANT TO CLEAN THE MOTION TO MAKE THE APPROPRIATE MOTION. ND ALSO OBVIOUSLY, SOMETHING COMES UP WITH THE NUANCES AND THE JUDGES TALK ABOUT AND THE POLICE OFFICERS SEE SOMETHING WE WANTED TO GET SOMETHING IN THE RECORD THAT SHOWS THE OFFICERS THAT WE ARE LIVING UP TO THE COMMITMENT AND I THINK THIS IS A GREAT STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE MOTION IS SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD PRACTICE ONLY NOTICED AS FAR AS THE PREMIUM PAID. SO, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE NOTICED
STARTING ANOTHER KIND OF PAY. >> I THINK IT'S BEST JUST TOM, IT'S THOMAS I THAT IT'S GO AHEAD TOM.
DO YOU THINK IT DOESN'T ISSUE IN OTHER WORDS, WHAT SOME PEOPLE CALL PREMIUM PACK. IT IS A PREMIUM PACK.
IT'S JUST THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE USING OUT OF THE BUCKET OF NEGATIVE TEST THIS IS HOW WE BOOK IT.
>> JUDGE, THINK AT THAT POINT, GIVEN THE LARGE TOTAL AMOUNT AND THE POTENTIAL FOR THE COUNTY TO COME UNDER CRITICISM JUST AS I WOULD EXERCISE AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION HERE.
AND IF I MIGHT SUGGEST THIS IS A MOTION THAT DIRECTED STAFF TO PREPARE THE RETENTION INCENTIVE USING THE PREVIOUS COMMITMENT OR SETTING A DECISION ON THE WORLD.
JUST GO WITH THAT MOTION. >> SAY THAT AGAIN.
>> WHAT YOU JUST SAID. >> YOU HAVE NEVER HELD UP HER THAT'S GREAT MOTION. HE SAID AGAIN? PLEASE TOM SO I DON'T HAVE TO? > YES SIR.
THE MOTION WOULD BE TO DIRECT STAFF TO DEVELOP THE RETENTION PROGRAM IN LIEU OF THE PREVIOUS OFFERED PREMIUM PAY.
WITH THE PARAMETER BEING 40 PERCENT OVERALL.OVER THE
TWO-YEAR TIMEFRAME. >> THAT'S MY MOTION.
>> I WILL SECOND. >> CALL AND MAKE THE MOTION.
>> I THOUGHT HE SAID 20 PERCENT?
>> HE DOBS TIMES FSU TOPS CALMS LANGUAGE FOR.>> 20 PERCENT
TWO YEARS? >> 40 PERCENT OF THE TWO YEARS.
>> 20 PERCENT EACH YEAR. >> WERE PRESENT, BOTH THE
DISPUTE. >> I REALLY CAN CHECK THE NUMBERS THAT THE LAW ENFORCEMENT CAN MAKE SURE TO WRITE. THAT WE ARE ON THE SAME PAGE.
SO, THAT'S THE MOTION HERE. THAT IS GREAT.
>> OKAY.>> AND THAT IS FINE. I THINK THAT GIVES US DIRECTION
AND A DIRECTIVE. >> WE WILL PROBABLY BRING
SOMETHING UP ON THE 27TH. >> ONE MORE QUESTION.
I JUST WANT TO TESTED AND HE SAID RETENTION.
DO WE NEED THIS TO HIRE NEW PEOPLE AND PAY THEM THE AMOUNT
THIS IS THE 20 PERCENT OR WHAT? >> TOM, I WOULD THIS SERVICE RETENTION OTHER THAN PEOPLE THAT CURRENTLY WORK FOR US.
>> YES JUDGE. SO, UPON DISCUSSION WITH THE BARGAINING UNIT AND ALSO WITH THE STAFF JUST AS IT APPEARS THAT IT'S A TREMENDOUS PROBLEM. WITHIN THE DEPUTY RANKS.
THAT IS LEADING TO ALL THE NORMAL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH VACANCY. TAKING THE LEAP OVER TIME.
URTHER, TALKING TO MR. CARPENTIER.
IT APPEARS THE THE OVERTIME IS NOW STARTING TO REALLY PUT A TRUE BURDEN ON THE EMPLOYEES. SO, BY CREATING THIS SORT OF PAYMENT, IT WILL ALLOW THE CADDY TO MARKET THESE JOBS IS TEMPORARILY HAVING A HIGHER RATE OF PAY, BECAUSE OF THE BONUS. WHICH SHOULD SPUR RECRUITMENT EFFORTS. AND IT SHOULD SHOW THIS TEST THE EMPLOYEES THAT THEY ARE SERVICES ARE APPRECIATED AND BEING REWARDED. GIVE THEM FINANCIAL INCENTIVE TO STAY IN THE JOB OVER THE TWO YEAR PERIOD THAT THE BONUS WILL
BE IN PLACE FOR. >> SINCE THIS ITEM WAS NOT THIS IS SO QUICK TO BRING JUSTICE PAID HOURS WE COULD SET UP A SEMINAL PAY WORDS EVERY PAY PERIOD A CERTAIN AMOUNT.
>> OKAY. >> THE ANSWER IS YES.
CAN HELP MARKET THE JOBS TO NEW PEOPLE.O, IF YOU'RE WANTING TO YOU KNOW, SEEK EMPLOYMENT HERE.
WE GONNA GET A CHANCE FOR THE NEXT YOU KNOW? TWO YEARS WE ARE ALREADY IN YEAR ONE.
RIGHT? BUT, IT'S CAN IT GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO HAVE THAT BONUS 20 PERCENT.
WHICH DOES THEORETICALLY MAKE US MORE ATTRACTIVE.
>> WHEN THE TWO YEARS ARE OVER, THEY STATE THAT PAY.
>> NO, THEY DO NOT. >> KENNEDY ANOTHER HOA ÃÃ
[INDISCERNIBLE] >> THEY KNOW THAT.
[03:10:01]
THIS IS A ONE-TIME DEAL. THIS IS PREMIUM PAY.>> FOR NEW EMPLOYEES? >> THEY WILL MAKE SURE THAT IT'S JUST A SIGNING BONUS. IT JUST HAPPENS ONCE.
BUT, THE GOOD ONES. IT'S A GOOD ONE.
>> I AGREE WITH THE SIGNING BONUS., BUT I DON'T WANT TO SAY IT'S PART OF YOUR PAY AND THEN ÃÃ
[INDISCERNIBLE] >> .BE VERY SPECIFIC.
WHEN THE ON BOARD, THEY ARE GIVEN A LOT OF SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING.
NOT A BAD IDEA TO EMPHASIZE IT. >> YEP.
>> THIS COMMITMENT THAT THE COURT IS MAKING TO THE PUBLIC SAFETY EMPLOYEES ÃÃTHIS IS A NEWSWORTHY COMMITMENT.
THIS CAN SHOW PERSPECTIVE EMPLOYEES WHETHER NEW EMPLOYEES IN PLACE OF OTHER AGENCIES THAT NUECES COUNTY IS COMMITTED TO THE DEPUTY RANKS. AND THAT SHOULD SPUR RECRUITMENT RIGHT OFF THE BAT. AND WE CAN WORK WITH THE STAFF TO ADVERTISE THE POSITION TO HELP CRAP THOSE RECRUITING AND
MARKETING MATERIALS AS WELL. >> I THINK IT'S SO IMPORTANT BECAUSE OF SOCIAL MEDIA, I SEE A LOT OF OUR DEPUTIES OFF-LINE POSTING AND COMPARING US TO OTHER COUNTIES.
AND IT'S DISAPPOINTING. WE KNOW WHERE WE'RE AT.
WE TRY TO MOVE OURSELVES UP OVER LAST SEVERAL YEARS.
SPECIALLY, BUT TO WHERE WE CAN KIND OF TAKE THE LEAD OR REALLY HAVE A POINT OF ITS ORIGINAL PRIORITY, BUT REALLY A POINT AND RIGHT FOR US TO SAY THAT WE'RE DOING SOMETHING MORE UNIQUE AND OUT OUT OF THE BOX INCLUDING THAT EMPHASIS ON THE RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION. WITH THESE EMPLOYEES.
SO WE ARE NOT LOSING THEM AT A FASTER RATE.
OR MAYBE WAS IN THE MIDDLE. TO OTHER AGENCIES.
SO, THAT'S AN EXCITING PART OF ALL THIS.
>> OKAY, GREAT. SO, GARRETT, WE HAVE NOT YET VOTED.LL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING HI.
>> I. >> IT IS ALMOST NOON AND I REALLY WOULD LIKE A BIT OF A BATHROOM BREAK.
BUT WE'RE SO CLOSE TO GETTING TO 19.
[16. Discuss and consider approval of any accrued overtime hours pursuant to County policy for essential exempt employees during declared disasters as it relates to COVID-19, and/or storm preparedness and response; severe weather preparedness and response.]
I'M JUST GONNA GO AHEAD AND SAY ONE MORE JUST SO THERE'S NOTHING ON ITEM NUMBER 16. ONLY DALE, THERE'S ANY JUSTICE IS NO ACTION ON 16 COULD WE BURIED HIM 17.I WILL TAKE MY LITTLE BREAK. BE RIGHT BACK.
STICK QUICK BATHROOM BREAK. COME BACK IN FIVE MINUTES.
[18. Discuss and consider reallocation of funds from 2021 Certificates of Obligations for Bob Hall Pier and IRT materials.]
>> TAKE US UP. >> COMING BACK ON THE RECORD AT 12:03 P.M. AND AT THIS TIME, AND ONE OTHER ITEM THAT IS LEFT IN THE REGULAR AGENDA. AND THEN WILL PROCEED TO THE AUDITOR IN HR FOR THE LAST ITEM IS NUMBER 18.
IT IS ÃÃIT DOES HAVE SOME ASSOCIATED DOCUMENTATION.
DISCUSS AND RECONSIDER ALLOCATION OF FUNDS FROM 2021 CEOS FOR BOB HALL PEER AND IRT. AND SINCE ONE IS HERE, WHEN WE
START WITH IRT MATERIALS. >> WHERE'S THAT?
>> TURN TO PAGE ÃÃTHERE'S A PAGE JUST ON IRT.
>> BRING IT BACK. >> AT THE VERY BACK?
>> IS THAT THE ADDITIONAL ONE THAT WE GOT?
>> BASICALLY IRT HAS A SHORTAGE.
TERESA HAS PASSED THESE OUT. AS A SHORTAGE OF 364,264.50.
THAT'S FOR COUNTY ROADS THAT WERE TO BE WORKING ON IN THE
>> THE PURPOSE OF TODAY'S AGENDA ITEM IS TO GET YOU THE DOLLARS ALLOCATED. SO, THERE'S MATERIALS THAT NEED TO BE PURCHASED IN ADVANCE, THAT CAN HAPPEN.
AND THE WAY THAT IT APPEARS THAT WE'VE GOT IS REALLY JUST REALLOCATION MAY BE BEST DESCRIBED BY THE TERESA.
BUT I HAVE A SCR 22Ä44. IS THAT CORRECT? WHAT IS THE NUMBER THAT YOU ASSOCIATE WITH THAT TERESA?
>> I COME FROM BASICALLY PREVIOUS IRT MATERIALS.
>> RIGHT, THAT THIS IS THE PROJECT TITLE, JUDGE.
WE WILL CREATE THE NEW PROJECTS THAT WE ARE GOING TO USE.
BUT IT'S GONNA COME FROM THE 2021 CO ALLOCATION.
>> THAT'S REALLY ALL WE NEED TO SAY.
AND SO. >> ALSO TERESA, RB INCLUDING THE OTHER PORTION FOR THE MEDICAL?
>> YES SIR, IT IS INCLUDED IN THERE.
>> AT THE BOTTOM IT SAYS MP SUPPLY.
15,000.OU SEE THAT? >> INDISCERNIBLE]
[03:15:04]
>> SO, I WILL MAKE THE MOTION TO JUSTICE OF GOD EMOTION AND AS I CAN PICK FORGIVE ME, LOST COMMISSIONER ARMADAS.
I'LL LOOK TO THE LEFT. I KNOW HE WILL PROBABLY WANT TO VOTE ON IT, BUT SHOULD BE ÃÃI GUESS THIS JUST I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO HERE. OKAY, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR
>> WE CAN ASK HIM AND JUST A SECOND.
BECAUSE A LOT OF IT ÃÃTHE SECOND PIECE OF THIS ITEM IS FOR AGAIN, REALLOCATION OF FUNDS FROM 2021 CERTIFICATE OF APPLICATION FOR BOB HALL PEER. IN THIS REGARD, YOU NEED TO REFER TO ITEMS ÃJUST THE SPREADSHEET THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS. THIS IS THE IRT MATERIALS.
REALLOCATION OF CEOS. TO GIVE THE DEFICIT THAT THEY NEEDED 3:43. IT WAS A 3Ä VOTE.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY.
YOU ADD? >> IF YOU ALLOW ME TO.
I LIKE THE CAST IN FAVOR OF THAT.
CLARK, WOULD YOU JUST MAKE SURE THAT THAT IS INCLUDED?
>> THANK YOU FOR. >> WE ARE ONTO THE SECOND PIECE, WHICH IS THE BOB HALL PEER.
AND SO, WHAT WE DID LAST COURT WAS REWORK THE NUMBERS TO INCLUDE THE ACTUAL DOLLARS FOR DEMOLITION.
PER LAST COURT'S AUTHORITY. AND AS WELL AS THE COURT HURRICANE HARVEY INSURANCE. AND THEN WE CLEANED IT UP.
WE FOUND ONE DISCREPANCY. WE WERE ABLE TO SAVE A LITTLE BIT OF DOLLARS THERE AND WE ADDED THINGS THAT QUITE FRANKLY MAKES SENSE. WE JUST CANNOT BUILD IT HERE IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE POWER SUPPLY.
AND YOU KNOW YOU GONNA NEED LIGHTING AND YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOME AMENITIES. WHEN YOU CLEAN IT UP THIS DISH IT GIVES YOU A BETTER PROFILE AND PICTURE.
OF WHAT IS NEEDED. SAVE AND EXCEPT THE ITEMS AT THE VERY BOTTOM, WHICH ARE NOT BEING CONSIDERED AT THIS TIME.
BUT CAN BE CONSIDERED IN THE FUTURE DEPENDING ON WHAT IS AVAILABLE SOURCES THERE MIGHT BE.
GRANTS, ETC. AND SO, THE NEW NUMBER TO REPORT TO THE COURT IS ALL IN AS THEY SAY FOR RIGHT NOW.
ALL IN RIGHT NOW. IS 26 MILLION 330,187.
330187. AND SO, THE BUDGET VARIANCE MEANING THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WE NEED IS 2,330,187.
EFORE I GO ANY FURTHER, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS WITH REGARDS TO THIS SPREADSHEET.
IS THE BIG CHANGE WAS THE BUMP OUTS HAD BEEN IN COMMISSIONER CHESNEY. WHICH IS WHY THE NUMBER WAS HIGHER THAN 28 MILLION. AND NOW TO 26.
REMEMBER, YOU ASKED ABOUT THAT LAST TIME.
>> ADD THE BUMP OUT THE TWO MID ONES THAT WE PULLED OUT.> AND THAT'S A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT DOLLARS HERE.
AND SO, YOU'RE ALL IN NUMBER IS 20 633-0187.
>> OUT IN THE PARKING LOT, RIGHT?
>> YOU DON'T WANT TO ADDRESS THAT A DIFFERENT AGENDA ITEM.
AFTER SCOTT'S MEETING WITH THE GL OF TODAY.
BECAUSE HE HAS OTHER MISSIONS HE THINKS HE MIGHT HAVE COST SAVINGS THERE. OF THAT NUMBER.
>> WHAT A WEEK ÃÃWHAT I PROPOSED WAS WORKING WITH TERESA ÃTHIS YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT ITEM NUMBER THAT'S JUST TERESA, IS THERE A SEPARATE ONE ÃÃIT'S JUST ÃÃI DON'T SEE
THAT WANT TO. >> THE ALLOCATIONS ON THE THIRD
>> PAGE 3. >> LOOK AT THIS ALLOCATION.
YOU CAN SEE THAT IF YOU REDO THESE ALLOCATIONS TEST THIS AND WE CAN GO THROUGH THE TESTIS FROM THE CEOS ÃÃWE CAN FIND THOSE 233-0187'S BY REALLOCATION.
HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? WELL, NUMBER ONE, IBM A MULTIPURPOSE FACILITY HAS $201,000.
THERE. THE COURTHOUSE SECURITY ACCESS CONTROL DISHES I'M SORRY. THAT STARTS WITH THE MP AT 4 MILLION. THESE ARE THE DIRECTIVES THAT WE HAVE TAKEN. WE HAVE IV MCGEE.
WE USED 200 TEST TEST APPROXIMATELY 200,000 AND YOU CAN SEE BY GOING DOWN THE LINE, IT SHOWS WHERE WE HAVE DEDUCTED FROM THE MP FACILITY REALLOCATION.
AND WE DEDUCTED IT FROM IRT. AND NOW WE CAN DEDUCT FROM BOB HALL. AND IT LEAVES A BALANCE OF 848,679. ONE, YOU WANT TO REMEMBER THAT NUMBER. BECAUSE THERE'S ANOTHER ITEM AT THEIR SUMMER AND YOU NEED ADDITIONAL DOLLARS FOR THE ITEM COMING UP LATER IN THE AGENDA. SO, I WILL DIRECT YOUR
[03:20:03]
ATTENTION TO THOSE FUNDS IN JUST A SECOND.>> A LITTLE CONFUSED. ON THE BOB HALL CONSTRUCTION Ã ÃTHIS IS THE DEDUCTIVE TESTIS IT'S ASSUMING.
SHE IS SAYING THAT THERE IS A VARIANCE MADE APPEAR.
THIS IS TO SHOWCASE. WE HAD 4 MILLION ALLOCATED IN THIS FACILITY. AND HERE ARE ALL THE WAYS THAT WE HAVE TAKEN FROM IT.> ALREADY TAKEN FROM IT?
>> BOB HALL RECONSTRUCTION ÃÃ THIS IS NOT ANYONE.
>> THIS WOULD BE THIS AGENDA ITEM.
IF YOU TOOK A, YOU WOULD STOP 845 LEFT.
679. >> THE CONFUSION IS ÃÃWE HAVE ÃÃLET ME BACK INTO. WE HAVE THE 18 MILLION AND ORIGINALLY ALLOCATED AND THEN 6 MILLION THAT THE COURT ALLOCATED FROM RV INSURANCE. 24 MILLION.
WHAT IS THIS TOO .3 REPRESENT? >> GO BACK TO SPREADSHEET AND LICK YOUR ALLOCATED BUDGET. RIGHT.
>> YOU SEE ALL OF THE ITEMS UP ABOVE.
>> YOU ARE SUGGESTING TO MAKE IT UP WITH THESE ONCE?
>> THAT'S RIGHT. >> BUT NOW, YOU HAVE A LITTLE BIT BETTER TESTIS YOU HAVE MORE OF A FULLY FUNDED PEER.
BECAUSE NOW YOU HAVE PUT POWER AND REVIEW PUT LETTING IT.
>> I GET IT. WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS TAKE JUST AS YOU SUGGEST IN TODAY'S TO TAKE THE REMAINING 2.3 MILLION 337 THOUSAND 187 THAT YOUR SHORT ON THE APPEAR AND TAKE THE CEOS FROM THE MEDICAL EXAMINER'S?ECAUSE ÃÃAND THAT SHOWS TERESA ÃÃTHIS IS HOW SHE LIKES TO DO.
MORE OF A DEDUCTIVE PROCESS. IT SHOWS YOU WHAT IS ALLOCATED AND WHAT IS NOT. AND WHAT IS LEFT OVER.
AND SO, THAT IS THE MOTION. BECAUSE THAT WAY, BY NEXT COURT, WE CAN TELL JACOBS TESTIS JACOBS THAT THIS IS A COST ESTIMATE THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN TO US.
WE ARE READY TO HAVE YOU DESIGN FOR THESE TESTIS FOR THIS EXACT PROJECT BUDGET. AND THEN WE CAN START REALLY FOCUSING ON BUILDING THIS.. I WANT TO NEGLECT THE BOTTOM PIECES BECAUSE WE NEED TO ÃÃ REST ASSURED TESTIS EVERYTHING UP ABOVE IS NEEDED.ND WANTED.
THAT REALLY GOES A LONG WAY TO GETTING US TO THE FUTURE BOB HALL.. THE PARKING LOT IS THE EXCEPTION AND IS WANTED AND NEEDED.
I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS CERTAIN THAT SCOTT MET WITH THE GL OUT AND TODAY. HE HAS BEEN IN DISCUSSIONS WITH WHAT KIND OF A PARKING LOT THAT THERE COULD BE.
>> WE HAVE THE DISTRICT MONEY. >> WE MOTHER DOLLARS COMING.
I FEEL LIKE IT DOESN'T STOP US. >> WE KNOW WE HAVE TO DO
SOMETHING. >> HE COULD BE ANOTHER AGENDA
ITEM. >> I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION.
229,965. >> WAITING IN THE CHART.
>> IN WHICH ONE JOE? >> OCCASION IN WHICH ONE?
>> AT THE VERY TOP? >> IN THE MIDDLE.
>> OF 229. >> PAID FOR BY THE REDISTRICT FOR FIVE ÃTHIS INCLUDING INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.
SO, HOW DO WE DO THE FUN HERE IN 40 FUND THERE?
IS THIS FOR WHAT? >> LOOKS LIKE IT'S THERE, BUT
THEN YOU BACK TO THAT ONE FROM. >> IT'S BACKED OUT.> IS FOR
INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. >> THE PROJECT TOTAL SAYS IT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE LYNN PROFESSIONAL SERVICES VIA IT ASSESSED PARKING IMPROVEMENTS. IT WAS THERE AND THEN IT WAS BACKED UP. I THINK ÃÃIT DOESN'T AFFECT YOUR BOTTOM LINE, BUT IT'S THERE TO SHOW YOU THAT YOU ALREADY PAID FOR IN OUR OWN WAY.
THE ENGINEERING ON THE PARKING LOT.
SO, WHEN WE GET TO THE PARKING LOT COST TEST TEST REALLY JUST NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THE PARKING LOT COST.
>> WOULD PROBABLY BE THE BETTER WAY SAYS THAT CONFUSING IS THE PUT UPSIDE DOWN BELOW PUT THE PARKING LOT.
>> I'M GOING TO AGREE.> BOTH OF THEM THE SAME WAY?
>> BOTH ITEMS ARE THE SAME WAY? >> 229 AND 705?
>> THE 705 ÃÃTHAT IS THE APPROVED MANAGEMENT FEE FOR THE WHOLE PEER. THE 229 WAS BY THE REDISTRICT PHONE. THE 705 ÃÃTHAT WAS IN THERE BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO BE IN THERE BECAUSE IT HAS NOT BEEN PAID FOR SOMEONE IT PROBABLY HAS. IN THE 229 NEED TO BE PULLED OUT BECAUSE WE WERE MAKING THAT AS A SEPARATE PROJECT.
>> THE OTHER THING IS THAT THE PERMITS AND THIRD-PARTY TESTING RENT ÃÃTHAT WAS A GUESSTIMATE.
BUT IT WAS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT WAS NOT INCLUDED THE LAST TIME.
>> THE PERMIT AND TESTING WHEN JACOBS GAVE US THE QUOTE ÃÃON HERE. I'M SORRY.
AT THE VERY BOTTOM ÃÃ THIRD-PARTY TESTING AND
PERMITS. >> THE 637 ÃTHIS IS AT THE
[03:25:02]
VERY BOTTOM OF THE CONSTRUCTION BUDGET.THAT'S AN IMPORTANT DISTANCE THAT WAS IMPORTANT FOR YOU MAY NOT HAVE SEEN IT BEFORE, BUT IT'S IMPORTANT, BECAUSE WITHOUT THE PERMITTING PROCESS, NOTHING MATTERS.
AND, WE'RE TRYING TO BE COMPREHENSIVE.
THE ONLY THING THAT I THINK IS PROBABLY NOT IN HERE THAT MIGHT COME BACK UP IS YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF A GUESSTIMATE ON THE JACOBS PART.
BUT I DO BELIEVE BY PUTTING THE 6:30 AND THERE, YOU COVERED THOSE COSTS. YOU GUESSTIMATE IS PRETTY GOOD.
YOU HAVE GOT SOME SOFT COSTS IN THERE FOR JACOBS IF THEY NEEDED. ADDITIONAL TESTIS ANNOUNCING THERE WOULD BE, I'M SAYING IF THE ADA RAMP WAS A LITTLE MORE
COMPLEX. >> 6:30 IS A GOOD NUMBER THAT
CAME FROM THEM. >> PATE RIGHT NOW, EVERYTHING ON THE BOTTOM THEIR ADDITIONAL PROJECTS.
NONE OF THAT IS FUNDED RIGHT NOW.
>> AT THE VERY BOTTOM. NONE OF THAT IS FUNDED.
THAT IS CORRECT. AND JUST SO YOU KNOW, THE COURT HAS ALREADY SAID THAT THE BUMP OUTS WOULD BE PROBABLY SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE WAY WAY EXTRA EXTRA.
SUBJECT TO SOME GRANTS AND THE PARKS ARE LOOKING AT.
THOSE ARE EXTRA. FROM THE TOP TO THE FIRST BLUELINE DOES JUST THAT IS REALLY WHAT YOU NEED TO BUILD THE SPIRIT. TO GET JACOBS GOING.
>> ALL CORPORATE. WE PLOT THE ADA STUFF.
IT DOES NOT. IN THE OTHER THINGS I JUST LOOKED THROUGH THEM AGAIN. ALL THE THINGS WE IMPROVED IN COURT ON THE ONES BELOW THE ONES NOT APPROVING.
AND SO, IT LOOKS RIGHT TO ME. >> IT LOOKS LIKE WE CAN TO MOVE FORWARD. YOU KNOW?ND AGAIN TESTIS MICHAEL WILL TELL YOU THIS. HE IS LOOKING FOR DRAWINGS BEFORE HE GOES OUT TO CONSTRUCTION BID.
BUT IT LOOKS LIKE WE CAN DIRECT THEM TO DRAWINGS.
>> SURE. >> AND AGAIN, YOU CANNOT TIME THE TESTIS MICHAEL CAN TIME THAT TO WHERE HE'S NOT WAITING ON PEOPLE. THERE MIGHT BE A 75 PERCENT THRESHOLD. DIFFERENT ARCHITECTURAL.
>> THE ONLY THING JUDGMENT WHERE'S THE CONTINGENCY?
>> I ASKED. IT'S BUILT IN THERE.
>> I'M 100 PERCENT POSITIVE. HOWEVER, LET ME LOOK AT TO SEE IF THERE'S ANYBODY ONLINE WHO COULD HELP ME.
I ASKED THAT BRENT. DID YOU REMEMBER TWO LINES HIGH AND LOW LAST TIME? I HAD THE HIGHEST.
>> AND THEN THERE'S THIS TEST WAS THE HIGH ÃTHIS WAS A
CONTINGENT ON THE HIGH? >> YES SIR.
>> JACOBS? I TESTIS IS NOT ON, BUT I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT IS WHAT WE SAID IN THERE.
>> I'M NOT DISAGREEING WITH YOU, BUT I JUST DON'T REMEMBER US HAVING A DISCUSSION ON IT. AND I JUST MAY NOT BE
REMEMBERING IT. >> I JUST REMEMBERED THAT THE HIGH AND LOW IN THE HIGH CONTAINED DISHES THE CONTINGENCIES AND ALL THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A HYDRANT UP AND WE GOT RID OF THE LOW.O THAT THE CONTINGENCIES ARE BUILT-IN. AGAIN, THAT 6:30 NUMBER IS TESTIS SIEWERT SAYS CONTINGENCIES?
IT HAS A LITTLE BIT THERETO. >> ALL RIGHT.
>> A FEEL-GOOD WITH THIS NUMBER AFTER TALKING TO LEWIS AS THE NUMBER TESTIS EXCEPT FOR I DO WANT TO TELL YOU THAT JACOBS TESTIS THOSE NUMBERS FROM THE ACTUAL ARCHITECT ARE MAY BE NOT EXACT. BUT WE THINK THAT THE
CONTINGENCIES WOULD COVER IT. >> I THINK MOVING ALLIANCE THING AND EVERYTHING WOULD GROW FROM THE CONTINGENCIES BECAUSE WILL MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS RIGHT.
WE ARE SISTERS I FEEL GOOD ABOUT.
AFTER SPEAKING TO THEM AND THAT LISTENS.
>> LET'S GET THE PRINT. >> WITH YOU GET THEM ON THE
PHONE. >> I'M OKAY MOVING FORWARD ON IT. I'M GOING TO REPORT BACK TO YOU. I'M GOING TO REPORT BACK TO YOU BY THE END OF TODAY. I BET THAT SCOTT CROSS COULD BE REACHED AS WELL PRETTY MIGHT BE FINISHED OR ON LUNCH BREAK WITH G YELLOW. AND HE CAN ALSO VERIFY.
BUT MEANWHILE, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THE MOTION BECAUSE THIS CAN REALLY GET THIS TO WHERE WE TO GET A POSITION OF THE EXTRAS IN OTHER WAYS OTHER THAN THIS COURT.
>> OKAY. I'M OKAY WITH MAKING TESTIS IF
YOU WOULD SECOND THAT? >> I'M SORRY, YOU MADE A
SECOND. >> AGAIN, I WILL GET YOU THAT
[03:30:02]
ANSWER.'M GONNA DO TEXTING WITH SCOTT CROSS PRETTY? THE CALLS WITH US WHEN WE ARE BUSY.
AS FOR LITTLE BIT OF BACK UP ON THAT.
THAT CONTINGENCY PIECE. SO WE CAN REPEAT ACCURATELY THAT THIS DOES CONTAIN THOSE CONTINGENCIES.
THESE NUMBERS DO. >> AND JUDGE, JUST TO BE TESTIS SINCE HE MADE THE COMMENT, JUST TO BE CLEAR.
IT'S FOR ME, IT'S ÃÃI'M NOT SURE HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS OTHER POSITIONS WITH OR WITHOUT THE MONEY.
I DON'T GET TOO FAR DOWN THAT PATH.
>> NUMBER THE PARKING LOT IS THERE.
>> I DON'T WANT TO MISLEAD. >> ASSISTS IN TO GET THE ABOVE ACCOMPLISHED TODAY.ELOW IS A FOR DISCUSSION.
LET'S AGREE THAT IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO GIVE US FREE MONEY AND THEY CAN PUT THEIR MARK ON TESTIS THAT IS A GREAT THING.
>> DEPENDING ON WHAT IT IS MAY BE.
YES MAY BE. DEPENDING ON WHAT IT IS FOR.
>> IF 20 866? >> APPARENTLY RIGHT NOW, WE'RE GONNA HAVE 28 SIX EXPERT.> HE WILL HAVE 26 30.
>> 330 FROM THE MIAMI MEDICAL EXAMINER.
>> THAT IS CORRECT. >> YOUR, YOU REALLY GONNA BE
COMING OUT TESTIS WAS 28 660. >> NO, NO, NO.
>> SEE WHERE WE HAVE 24 TESTIS WE ARE THIS SHORT.
WHAT SHE JUST FOUND AS THE SHORTFALL.
>> FROM BACK HERE? >> BUT THEN WE ONLY HAVE 24 SET ASIDE. 24+ THE ADDITIONAL DIGNITY THAN
>> WE WERE TALKING BEFORE, I THOUGHT THERE SAYING 20.
>> 20 IN BETWEEN 20 AND 29. SO, WITH 18.
THAT WAS 24. AND THEN AS WE TALKED ABOUT THAT THEY, WE SAID AND STILL, OVER MILLION SURE.
HE'S COMING UP WITH AN IDEA TO COME UP WITH A COUPLE MILLION SURE. TO REALLOCATE THE LOGISTICS OF
>> SO, THE NUMBER IS TESTIS THE NUMBER IS 26 REALLY.
26 330. AND COMMISSIONER ÃÃI DO WANT TO THANK TERESA. I KNOW IT LOOKS SO EASY WHEN IT'S LIKE THIS ON A LITTLE SPREADSHEET.
BUT, IN ORDER TO GET ALL THE NUMBERS ACCURATE, CORRECT, AND ABLE TO BRING IT HERE, IT TAKES A LOT OF EFFORT.
SHE WORKS LAST WEEK. AND LIKE YOU SAID, YOU'RE ABOUT TO HEAR ANOTHER ITEM HOW THIS ACTUALLY HELPS US TWICE.
I HOPE THIS IN IRT. RIGHT? BECAUSE IT WASN'T JUST ONE THING.
A HOPELESS IN IRT. AND THEN MEGAN CONVINCES SUSPENSE, BUT MY HELP WAS ANOTHER ITEM LATER ON TODAY.
SO, ANYWAY, THERE'S NUMBER DISCUSSION æ
>> THAT JUST MEANS WHEN WE'RE GONNA DO WITH THAT FACILITY, WE ARE TO START FROM SCRATCH AGAIN.
>> WE WERE ALWAYS STARTING WITH SCRATCH.
>> I MEAN TESTIS [INDISCERNIBLE]
>> YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT THE COMMENT.
SO MAYBE LATER IN ANOTHER FUTURE AGENDA, WE COULD BRING UP SOME CONCEPTS THAT WE'VE BEEN MULLING AROUND.
[1. Receive presentation from the Director of Public Works related to Fiscal Year 2022 First Quarterly Expenditure Report.]
>> SO, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING HI.
>> I. >> [INDISCERNIBLE] IT IS YOUR TURN ÃÃTHIS WAS LEFT OVER. IT'S A PRESENTATION.
THE OF A POWERPOINT OR JUST VERBAL?
>> YES MA'AM. YOU WILL GET IT QUEUED UP.
THIS IS FOR THE CLERK. IT IS A REPORT THAT RELATES TO THE FISCAL YEAR 2022. IT IS THE FIRST QUARTERLY EXPENDITURE REPORT.O AHEAD WHENEVER YOU ARE READY.
THIS IS JUST AN UPDATE TO COURT.
ON PUBLIC WORKS. WHERE MONIES HAVE BEEN SPENT HERE IN THE PAST. THE PAST QUARTER MARCH 2022.
EXT SLIDE? >> AREAS CONCENTRATED BACK IN THE QUARTER. DRAINAGE.JUSTICE THE DITCHES.
AND ALSO COUNTY ROADS. HERE YOU CAN SEE TWO PIE CHARTS. DEPARTURE THE LEFT IS FROM LAST QUARTER. AND THEN DEPARTURE TO THE RIGHT IS THIS PAST QUARTER FOR 2022. THE LIGHT BLUE ÃÃON NORTH SIDE TESTIS YOU CAN SEE THE MOSTLY MONIES WERE SPENT ON ROADS. MAINTAINING OUR ROADS.
AND THEN TO THE RIGHT TESTIS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PIE CHART THAT THE BROWN SECTION TO THE RIGHT IS FOR DRAINAGE.
MONIES THAT WERE SPENT. AND THEN TO THE LEFT DOSES TO GREEN TESTIS LIKE A LIGHT GREEN.
THAT ARE THE MONIES THAT WERE SPENT ALSO ON HER ROOTS.
YOU CAN SEE THAT PUBLIC WORKS IN THE PAST QUARTER HAS BEEN
[03:35:03]
CONCENTRATING A LOT ON ROADSIDE DRAINAGE DITCHES THAT ARE WITHIN THEIR RIGHT AWAY. SO, WE'VE KIND OF CONCENTRATED ON THOSE AREAS. AND WE WILL BE CONCENTRATING ON DRAINAGE WITHIN OUR RIGHT-OF-WAY IN THE FUTURE TO FOR THE NEXT THREE QUARTERS. NEXT SLIDE? THIS PICTURE JUSTICE THAT WE'VE DONE SOME DISCLAIMING IN BROAD ACRES. ANOTHER WAS A LADY CONSTITUENT HERE EARLIER TALKING ABOUT THE INCREMENTS THAT WE DO NOT HERE EARLIER. AS YOU CAN SEE TO THE LEFT, THAT'S A HYDRO MACHINE. AND A HYDRO MACHINE THAT CHANGES AT THE COVERTS FOR THE DEBRIS THAT IS ACCUMULATED IN OUR COVERTS. AND JUST TO LET YOU KNOW ON THAT TESTIS WE HAVE KIND OF CONCENTRATED THAT TYPE OF PROCESS NOT ONLY IN BROAD ACRES, VALLEY VIEW, AND A COMMISSIONERS JUST AS WE'VE DONE SOME OTHER AREAS IN ROB 10. IT'S AN BLUEBONNET AREA.COMMISSIONER ÃÃAND ALSO IN KRISTA RANCH.
COMMISSIONER ALSO CONCENTRATED ON HERNANDEZ ARMADAS.
SO, WE'VE DONE A LOT OF TESTIS WE WERE IN THE PROCESS OF DOING MORE OF THE COVERT CLEANING, BECAUSE IN ORDER TO MAKE SUNDAY'S BLOCKAGE THE COVERTS. THIS PROCESS DOES TAKE TIME.
SO, IT'S JUST A MATTER OF BEING A BIT PATIENT.
THIS IS ONE OF HER EQUIPMENT SO HOPEFULLY NEXT WEEK WILL BE DISCUSSED ON THE BIDDING PART OF IT.
POSSIBLY ACQUIRING THE EQUIPMENT.
THE TWO PHOTOS ARE WHAT WE'VE DONE.
AND YOU CAN SEE THAT WE'VE DONE A LOT OF CLEANING.
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE? THIS IS ON COUNTY ROAD 14.
WE HAD SOME AREAS WHERE THEY HAVE COME TO US SIGN HAVE REQUESTED AS GOING OUT AND CLEANING SOME OF THE DITCHES.
I KNOW IN THE LAST HEAVY RAIN EVENT TESTIS SOME OF THE WATER WAS STANDING DEFICIENT MAJORITY OF IS ALSO DUE TO SOME OF THE FARMERS WITHIN OUR RIGHT-OF-WAY.
AND WE'VE BEEN TALKING TO THEM. NONE OF THEM HAVE BEEN SUPPORTED ABOUT MAKING SURE THEY STAY WITHIN THEIR BOUNDARY. SO, WE'VE GONE OUT THERE AND CLEANED OUT SOME OF THE DITCHES.
WE PUT SOME OF THE COVERS ALSO SOME OF THEM WERE SEPARATED AND SOME OF THEM WERE COLLAPSE. AND WE REPLACED SOME OF THE COVERTS OUT THERE ON COUNTY ROAD 14.
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE? >> WE DID ON COUNTY ROAD 16.
THIS IS AGAIN, THE PAST QUARTER.
THIS IS ABOUT A MONTH AFTER TRADE THERE.
THOMAS STRETCH. REALLY WE BEEN DOING THAT WE'VE DONE. THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE ROOTS OF MANY THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON.
THIS IS THE BASE IMPROVEMENT. AND ALSO BRING A PRIMA TOP OF IT AND THEN AFTER THAT, FUNNEL SURFACE WHICH IS THE SURFACE TREATMENT. NEXT PHOTO.
THIS IS ON COUNTY ROAD 73. A. THIS IS SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS IN DISCLAIMING THAT WE'VE GONE OUT THERE AND COMPLETED. SO ÃÃTHE DITCHES OUT THERE.
TO IMPROVE TESTIS AGAIN, SOME OF THE PAST 20 TO 30 YEARS.
AND I AGREE. AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE CONCENTRATING ON. ÃÃTHE SUN NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.
RIVER RIDGE TRAIL. RUMOR VALLEY VIEW.
WE CLEAN OUT THE DITCHES. ONE THING THAT I DO WANT TO MENTION IS A WILL BE DONE HERE IS PRETTY MUCH PUT EVERYTHING BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL DESIGN. DESIGN WHEN THE SUBDIVISION WAS DESIGNED ORIGINALLY. WE CAN IMPROVE ANY THE STRUCTURES ON THE DOWNSTREAM SIDE.
BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF LIKE AN ASSOCIATE SAID.
AND I'VE SAID IT BEFORE. ONCE YOU OPEN UP THE DRAINAGE ON THE DOWNSTREAM SIDE, YOU WILL BE INUNDATING SOMEBODY
ELSE ÃÃNEXT SLIDE PLEASE? >> AGAIN, TO THE LEFT, SOME OF THE CLEANUP THAT WE DID AND SOME OF THE RESULTS ONTO THE RIGHT THIS IS VALLEY VIEW. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE? IN THE THIS IS JUST AN OVERALL MAP OF SHOWING WHAT WE'VE DONE
[03:40:02]
IN THE PAST YEAR. IT'S A DIFFERENT SHADE OF BLUE AND THEN YOU SEE THE RED. WE REDONE PRT.THIS IS REALLY JUST SHOWING IN THE PAST YEAR, WE HAVE SPORADICALLY GONE EVERYWHERE. OUR GOALS TO MAKE SURE THE WE DO MAINTAIN AREA PRECINCT AND GO TO EVERY LOCATION AND YOU CAN SEE IN THE WE HAVE GONE EVERYWHERE.
IN THE NUECES COUNTY AND HAVE DONE IMPROVEMENTS.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT AND TO CONCENTRATE ON THESE AREAS.
OUR GOAL FOR THIS YEAR IS TO GO TO SOME OF THESE SMALLER SUBDIVISIONS. THEY DO NEED SOME ASSISTANCE AND CLEAN OUT THE STITCHES. DITCHES HAVE NOT BEEN CLEANED OUT THE LAST 20 TO 30 YEARS. AND DO THAT.
HOPEFULLY HERE NEXT WEEK ÃÃ THERE IS AN AGENDA ITEM FOR EQUIPMENT THAT HAS BEEN BEDDED OUT.
AND HOPEFULLY WITH THOSE NEW PIECES OF EQUIPMENT, WE CAN START KEEPING UP WITH SOME OF THESE THAT BELONG TO US.
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE? >> CAN ASK YOU SOMETHING ON THE
>> IT'S SUCH A HOPEFUL SLIDE PRINT WOULD BE TOO MUCH TROUBLE TO ASK IF YOU WOULD CHANGE THE COLORS MAKE THEM YELLOW BLUE ORANGE LIKE TESTIS BECAUSE SHADES OF BLUE POWER TO PRODUCE IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA IT WOULD BE HARD FOR PEOPLE.
>> WILL CHANGE THE COVER. >> THAT WOULD REALLY HELP.
>> AND THEN JUDGING DISTANCE WHAT WE WILL DO IS END UP UPDATING THE MAP. TO SHOW WHAT WE COMPLETED IN 2021 AND THEN ONCE WE COMPLETE 2022 AND 2023 AND SO ON.
SO, THIS MAP IS GOING TO KEEP ON GETTING UPDATED.
>> THIS ONE THE MOST HELPFUL UPDATES THAT I RECEIVED TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. THIS IS WAS HELPFUL, BECAUSE Ã ÃSHARE SLIDE SHOW THE COMMUNITY IT'S THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE. OBVIOUSLY WE KNOW WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF MILES LITERALLY LEFT TO BE DONE.
WHEN WE ARE HEARING THEM AND COME TO COURT OR CONTACT US TESTIS AND I AGREE WITH THE COLORING BECAUSE I'M COLORBLIND. IF SHADES OF BLUE ARE ALL BLUE ÃDISTANT IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE.
I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE THIS COPY.
I SAW THAT WE ONLY HAVE THE FINANCIALS.
ON THE AGENDA, WE DID GET THIS MAP.
IF WE CAN GET THAT COPY TO US TO WHOEVER SO WE CAN SHARE AND USE IT AS A REFERENCE MERIDIA PHONE CALLS.
OR WHATEVER. >> WE WILL MODIFY OUR INDUSTRY.
>> YES SIR. >> TO THE THING THAT WAS HELPFUL IS YOU KNOW, I SHOULD'VE PROBABLY INVITED HER TO STAY CAN BUT IT WOULD'VE BEEN A LONG TESTIS WE REALLY THIS LOVELY LADY'S NAME.ER NAME WAS MRS. SMITH.
>> YES-MAN.ND REMEMBER TESTIS AND MIGHT'VE BEEN PAMELA. I TALKED TO PAMELA SMITH.
WE WILL GIVE HER A CALL. >> YOU WILL GIVE HER A CALL?
>> WHAT'S INTERESTING IS IF YOU GO BACK YOUR MAP, IT ACTUALLY SHOWS THAT AS YOU SAID TESTIS YOU'VE DONE SOME AREAS THERE.
BUT MAYBE THE CONFUSION IS THAT SHE IS NOT COVERED BY THE TRI-COUNTY MASTER DRAINAGE STUDY.
SO, THAT IS THE ISSUE. THAT'S THE ISSUE OR NOT.
HER POINT AS WELL. >> BASED ON WHAT I HEARD FROM HER DECISION TO THINK THAT WAS HER CONCERN FOR.
>> AND SO, WE THOUGHT THE SOCIAL ATHLETES WERE GERMANE TO SAY THAT WHAT WE WITH HIS THAT MAY BE IS THAT EVEN THE GRANTS VERY SPECIFIC, IT DOES NOT LOST INCLUDED AND RECOVERED FROM THE GRANT. WHAT I THINK COULD HAPPEN IS INDIVIDUALLY THAT THE COMMISSIONER COULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF RIGHT, THE FACT THAT WE ARE WORKING THE AREA.
AND MAYBE DO SOMETHING DISTINCT.
THAT WOULD COLLABORATE. >> YES MA'AM.
>> THE REASON WE CANNOT HAVE HER IN THE TRI-COUNTY MASTER DRAINAGE IS BECAUSE THE GRANT DOES NOT ALLOW US TO GO OUTSIDE THOSE FOUR AND 10 WATERSHEDS.
AYBE AGAIN, INDIVIDUALLY, THE COURT COULD CONSIDER DOING THAT TO MAKE CERTAIN ÃÃTHAT IS JUST NOT A CONCEPT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE ON THE PRINT.
>> JUDGE, MY THOUGHTS ON THAT, BASED ON WHAT I HEARD FROM HER, I KNEW YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE DRAINAGE STRUCTURE ÃÃTHE NEIGHBORHOOD. TALK ABOUT NORTH COMMITTEE SQUANDERED THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WHEN THE MAIN DRAINAGE STRUCTURES THAT I HAVE. THEN THEY SAID TESTIS THIS WAS
[03:45:02]
DESIGNED A CERTAIN WAY. WE END UP OPENING THE GATE.TO ALLOW THE WATER TO FLOW. SOMEBODY ELSE'S NEIGHBORHOOD.
THEN ALL WE'RE DOING IS END UP PUTTING SOMEBODY'S ORDER ON SYMBIOSIS FRONT PORCH. SO, TO DO A STUDY TESTIS WHO PROBABLY COULD DO A STUDY. I THINK THAT IS WHAT THEY WANTED. THEY WANTED TO INCREASE THE CAPACITY OF THE DRAINAGE STRUCTURE.> GOT IT.
THEN A QUICK QUESTION GOING BACK TO THE MAP.
IT LOOKED LIKE A GOOD SOLID BLUE LINE.
BACK THE MAP ON 22 AND 47. SO, YOU GUYS I KNOW ARE ALREADY WORKING ON THIS. DO YOU HAVE ANY UPDATES ON 47? THEY ARE COMPLAINING THAT OUR WORK HAS ARTIE BEEN DAMAGED OR
ANY THOUGHTS ON 47? >> YES-MAN.
HE WENT OUT THERE TESTIS WE WENT AFTER AND A DRIVEWAY ENTRANCE COMING IN. WHAT WE WERE DOING IS COMING BACK AND WE'RE GOING TO REDO THE ENTRANCE AND COME IN AND PUT A BRAND-NEW SURFACE ON TOP OF THE ENTRANCE.
>> THAT'S GOOD. AGAIN, I MEAN, LEARNING AND HAVING THAT KIND OF BE OUR LESSON LEARNED, DO YOU THINK IT'S BEST THAT ÃÃIS THAT GOING TO HAPPEN? IS IT BEST TO DO MORE THAN WHAT WE DID THERE? IN OTHER WORDS, NOW THAT WE SEE HEY, THIS REALLY ISN'T GOING TO HOLD UP, CAN WE THINK ABOUT CHANGING HOW WE DO IT? IT MAY COST MORE NOW, BUT IT WILL SAVE MORE LATER.
BUT YES MA'AM, I THINK MOMMY GOT THE CAR, WE WERE JUST TRYING TO REACT TO THE CAR AND WE CONTRIBUTE A NICE SERVICE COMING IN. GOING BACK TO THOSE IN THE ONES ABOUT THE ROAD, OUR GOAL JUDGE, IS, LUCAS SAID, OUR GOAL IS TO DO A FULL DEPTH RECONSTRUCTION OF THE RANGE FROM NOW ON.
>> THAT'S GOOD. >> THAT WAY WE CAN HAVE ANOTHER APPROXIMATELY 7Ä2 YEARS OF ROAD.
WE STILL TO MAINTAIN THEM. BUT AT LEAST IT'LL GIVE US ÃÃ IT'LL LEAST IT'LL GIVE US ANOTHER SEVEN YEARS BEFORE WE HAVE TO GO OUT AND DO SOMETHING TO PUT.
>> THAT'S WHAT I LIKE THAT I'M HEARING.
BECAUSE I THINK THE OLD WAY IS PROVEN THAT WE ARE JUST SEEING TOO MUCH TESTIS IN MIGHT'VE WORKED BACK THEN, WHEN THERE WASN'T ENOUGH TRAFFIC, BUT NOT THE TRAFFIC INCREASE IS SOMEWHAT HIGHER. OUR OLD WAYS IS TESTIS IT DOESN'T PAY DIVIDENDS. NOT LIKE THIS NEW WAY.
I'M NOT SURE THAT YOU HEARD THIS EARLIER.
ECAUSE IT WAS EARLY IN THE DAY, BUT WE HAD A GOOD QUESTION BY COMMISSIONER MODEST. AND I ECHOED ON COUNTY ROAD 36.
WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT WE ASKED IS THAT WE SAID COULD YOU PLEASE CONSIDER HAVING A COLLABORATION MEETING BETWEEN THE CITY OF BROWNSTOWN AND NUECES COUNTY.
MARTIN MARIETTA. WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO TAKE ÃÃI WOULD LIKE YOU TO TAKE THE LEAD ON MAKING SURE THAT HAPPENS.
WE WILL TAKE THE LEAD ON MAKING SURE THAT WE GET THE LETTER, BECAUSE WE THINK THAT THE LETTER IS A SIGNAL TO THE COMPANY THAT WE WOULD REALLY LIKE TO HAPPEN.
COORDINATING EVERYBODY. WE WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE SOME EQUITABLE PROPORTION TO FIX COUNTY ROAD 36.
WHEN YOU DO IT RIGHT. WE ENDURE IT FOR EVERY HOLE.
IN THE FUTURE, COUNTY ROAD 36 HAS BEEN ID TESTIS IF THERE IS A SORE SPOT TESTIS COUNTY ROAD 36 AND WE'VE GOT TO FIX IT.
THE PLAINTIFF STARTS NOW. AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GET TAHIRIH, BUT YOU CAN GO BACK AND ROLL THE TAPE.
US INTO THE VERY END OF THE PRESENTATION.
AND YOU WILL HEAR OUR DIALOGUE. >> COMMISSIONER MORRIS, IS THAT
ALL RIGHT? >> SINCE THEY ARE IN THE BUSINESS OF CONCRETE DUSTERS YOU THINK.
WITH THE ASPHALT. I THINK THAT'S THE MOST WE CAN ASK FROM THEM. THE RESIDENCE.
AND ONCE IT'S UP AND FIXED, IS GOING TO BE A VERY BUSY ROAD.
AGAIN, WE HAD THE DOORS AND BLOCKS AT THE BRIDGE.
AND EVERYTHING THAT WAS GOING ON.
THE SMALL BRIDGE ON COUNTY ROAD 36.
I THINK THAT WOULD TESTIS THAT WOULD BE TESTIS A FAIR EXPECTATION FOR THEM TO HELP US OUT WITH.
JUST SO YOU KNOW THAT CONCRETE IS MORE VIABLE THAN ASPHALT, IT'S NOT A VERY LONG STRETCH, RIGHT?
>> IS TAKING CARE OF YOUR FRONT DOOR.
AND THE FRONT YARD. IT'S WHERE YOUR ACCESSING THEIR COPIES. THE HAND PULLING HOUSES THAT LIVE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE ROAD.
I'M SORRY. THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ROAD.
IF YOU CAN HELP US WITH THAT. >> I WILL SET UP A MEETING WITH DAVID FLORES WITH THE CITY OF ROCKS DOWN AND MARTIN.
AND ALSO TOMATOES. >> COMMISSIONER, I THINK

SOMETHING WITH JUAN AND JERRY, WHEN YOU ARE WORKING ON WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT TESTIS COUNTY ROAD 3620 6A, WHEN THE GOT INVOLVED TESTIS CONCRETE AND THEY'RE GONNA HELP IN THE 26 A. THEY'RE GONNA HELP, BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONES THAT ARE DRIVING MOST OF THE TIME. THEY AGREED THAT THEY ARE THE ONES TESTIS RETRACTOR ALL THE TIME.THEY'RE GONNA HELP OUT TESTIS LOOKING AT THAT RIGHT NOW.
ACTUALLY YOU HELP US OUT WITH THAT.
